Please try killing the Everything process, deleting your Everything.db and restarting Everything:
From the Task Manager (Ctrl + Shift + ESC), under the Processes Tab, select Everything.
(If there's more than one, click the one using the most memory)
Click End Task.
---
In Windows Explorer, type in the following address and press ENTER:
%LOCALAPPDATA%\Everything
Delete your Everything.db
Restart Everything.
Does the issue persist?

Everything complained about needing administrator something to scan ntfs something
I run as administrator and it works.

Good enough for me. The other account where this works doesn't require me to run as administrator

Better to use the Everything Service (Tools | Options | General -> Everything Service) [rather then running Everything "as Admin"].

You may have terminated the Everything Service.
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 .
