Preview on specific files

Post by citri »

Good morning everyone

For a few days Everything previews on some types of files no longer work correctly.
I use it mainly to search for Autodesk Inventor files (3D mechanical drawings) and when I did a search, the previews of the drawing appeared to me without problems. For a few days, however, only the icon appears. Would anyone know how to help me? Thanks

Do previews work in Windows Explorer?

Previews might not work in Everything is running as an administrator.

Please ensure Everything is 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 make sure Everything is running as a standard user:
  • Right click your Everything.exe or a shortcut to Everything
  • Click Properties.
  • Click the Compatibility tab.
  • Uncheck Run this program as an administrator.
  • Click OK.
Does the issue persist?
