Every 30m, new Admin popup? "everything is requesting to make changes to your system".

Post by pacman247 »

What's going on here. I pinned Everything to my taskbar and now every 30m, I get a windows Defender popup confirmation that "Everything is requesting to make changes to your system"

Like,yes whatever.

why does this keep coming on? Do I need to add it to Approved programss in Firewall settings?

Thanks in advance.

Everything should not be showing the UAC prompt.

Please make sure Everything is installed correctly and running as a standard user:
  • In Everything, from the Tools menu, click Options.
  • Click the General tab on the left.
  • Check Store settings and data in %APPDATA%\Everything.
  • Uncheck Run as administrator.
  • Check Everything Service. (Please make sure this is tick-checked and not square-checked)
  • Click OK.
  • Exit Everything (right click the Everything tray icon and click Exit).
  • Restart Everything.
