1. I am that, and Everything (1.5a) 1.5.0.1337a (x64)
The steps in
Suggestion: pop-up search bar were written almost a year ago.
2. UNCHECK(!) -> [x] "Everything Service"

I do not get a message “the User Account Control (UAC) - query with "Yes" and then press "OK".”; I get a message “Failed to run as administrator”. This may be because I have fallen back to Win7.

2. That said, I now have Only Everything64/exe running as a process in Task Manager.
3. “Exit Everything 1.5x completely:” this I have done via the Task Manager. There is now sign of Everything in Applications or Services.

Since this step says “Exit Everything 1.5x completely:” I STOPPED Everything in the Services tab of Task Manager.
4. “ … change into the Everything installation directory.”

I had previously used Everything with a filter “Everything*.exe” and found only one instance in my “C:\Program Files” folder.
5. RENAME files in the installation directory …

Now I remember why I changed user Chris072 back to Administrator a week or so ago. As a standard user I cannot delete a text file (INI) in my “C:\Program Files” folder.
This step 5 reads like “Remove the [-1.5a] from every relevant file name.

So I fired up Everything again and found seven files that need changing. (“DavidCarpenter” is the honorary Administrator here!)
Log Off as Chris072(Standard) and On as DavidCarpenter(Administrator)

I elected to change the folder name (left pane) as well as the INI file name. This may mean my shortcut link does not work, but I can live with that.

In my AppData I took the liberty of removing my ZipArch,.bat log file, removed “-1.5a” from all evident filenames.
Log Off as DavidCarpenter(Administrator) and On as Chris072(Standard), and here I am back again.
I click on the shortcut link, yes, delete it, create a new one, click on it and Everything starts re-assembling indexes and whatever else it does. I leave it alone and head into Task Manager.

I see one instance of Everything in Applications, processes, and Services. So that seems OK.
6, 7, 8.: Steps 6, 7, and 8 seem irrelevant because I am not running Total Commander, just little old me and Everything.
9. At the end of my Step5 I had relaunched Everything from my new shortcut but was not asked to confirm the default option "Install the "Everything" service" with click on "OK". A glance at the Everything window title bar confirms that I am NOT running as Administrator.
10, 11, 12.: These steps seem irrelevant to my case.
Back to
your post of a week ago:-
“These settings in Everything Options: General should never(!) be used at the same time:”

I am unsure now where I stand. The Everything Service checkbox is indeterminate which, to me, means we don’t know whether it is checked ON. But both “Run as administrator” settings are checked OFF, so on paper, we’re alright, I think.
Now on to
Void’s response. But first - a cup of tea …
Everything Service ...... Service: 1 (connected / installed and running) < Menu "Help" -> "Troubleshooting Information"
