Everything quit seeing/indexing 5TB portable disk drive-Win10

Post by swabbie »

Suddenly, Everything has quit indexing or even seeing 5TB portable hard drives.
The internal drives work normally but the 'plug in' drives are just gone.

I'm using windows 10, Everything Version 1.4.1.935 (x64), I've tried everything
I can think of, and so far, no joy...

If you can, please help with suggestions. Thanks, Swabbie.

Please try the latest version of Everything.

This version fixes an issue with removable USB drives.

Please make sure Everything is installed correctly:
  • In Everything, from the Tools menu, click Options.
  • Click the General tab on the left.
  • Check Store settings and data in %APPDATA%\Everything
  • Check Everything Service. (Please make sure this is tick-checked and not square-checked)
  • Uncheck Run as administrator.
  • Click OK.
  • Exit Everything (right click the Everything tray icon and click Exit).
  • Restart Everything.
Is the external drive an NTFS volume? -If so, it will be listed in Everything under Tools -> Options -> NTFS.
Otherwise you will need to add the volume as a Folder index:
  • In Everything, from the Tools menu, click Options.
  • Click the Folders tab.
  • Click Add....
  • Select your external drive and click OK.
  • Click OK.

Thank You! Those two settings were wrong.
Had to re-install for it to 'take'.

It works flawlessly, just like before. Thanks Again.
