New Computer - Not Working

Post by allisonlegal »

Installed on new PC. Have 300k+ files on old PC. Everything moved over.
Everything on new PC shows only about 300 files. All Options settings are the same.
Also migrated all files in Everything program files directory, so that's not it.
Did rebuild multiple times. Nothing.
Please help. Love this software.
Thank you.

Please make sure your new NTFS volumes are included in your index:
  • In Everything, from the Tools menu, click Options.
  • Click the NTFS tab on the left.
  • Check Automatically include new fixed volumes.
  • Check Automatically remove offline fixed volumes.
  • For each NTFS volume:
    • Check Include in database.
  • Click OK.


Please make sure no search options are checked under the Search menu (eg: uncheck match case, uncheck match whole words, uncheck regex)

Please make sure the Everything filter is active under the Search menu.

Please make sure these files are not excluded from Tools -> Options -> Exclude.



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.


Please let me know if the issue persists.
