Everything crashes a lot.

Post by Siwy389 »

Hello. I'm having an issue with Everything crashing constantly. Sometimes it crashes when I start typing and sometimes I type in the same thing and it doesn't crash straight away but when I start scrolling down it crashes. I had a quick google and found a topic on this forum saying to delete Everything.db but it doesn't exist on my PC either in appdata or localappdata. I even managed to search using everything for it and it doesn't exist anywhere. So I don't know maybe that's the problem? It's really annoying and I'm was hoping someone can help me troubleshoot.

Version?

I'd think, most likely a shell extension or something to do with thumbnails.

There are options to disable, but specifics elude me at the moment.
Search for 'disable shell extension' & see if something comes up.

To disable icon shell extensions:
  • Copy and paste the following into your Everything search box:
    /icon_shell_extensions=0
  • Press ENTER in your Everything search box.
  • If successful, icon_shell_extensions=0 is shown in the status bar for a few seconds.
