Everything unresponsive

[tom]

Hi all!
A couple of days ago Everything started getting almost unusable for me.
Until then I used it on a two SSD machine with about 4Mio files, plus I loaded ~30Mio filenames from an .efu file.
This setup worked perfectly fine since years.
The .efu file needed a couple of seconds to load, then file search was quick and nice.
From one day to the other Everything started to be getting unresponsive whenever I key in a search.
It takes a long time to end the search until then a cursor is spinning over the everything windows.
The Window content is greyed.
I tried re-installing but the issue remains.
I tried not loading the .efu does not help the issue remains.

I'd very much appreciate any hints how get Everything back to normal.
Thanks in advance.
Tom

Everything might be trying to process changes to your C: drive.

Please try forcing a "Everything" to build a fresh index:

• Terminate Everything:
• Press Ctrl + Shift + ESC to open the Task Manager.
• In the Task Manager, Click the Applications tab.
• Select Everything and click End Task.
• In Windows Explorer, type in the following address:
  %LOCALAPPDATA%\Everything
• Delete your Everything.db
• Restart Everything.
• After Everything rebuilds, does the unresponsive issue persist?

Thank you so much for the prompt reply!
I tried that already and the issue remained.

However, it seems as lightning fast as before, after having toggled some setting.
I am not sure what brought the improvement.
But you might be on the right track related to changes on c: as another indexer is doing changes to the file system.
However, I never ran into this before and I am using Everything almost a year on this machine.
Wonderful program!

Kind regards,
Tom
