Yesterday my surface got win10 updates pushed and installed, after that the Everything is not working anymore due to fata error from mem_alloc() function.

Here is the information that I collected:
* Error:
Pop up message during the startup:
.\src\mem.c(566): mem_alloc() : Fatal error: out of memory

* Everything version: Version 1.4.0.713b

* HW spec:
RAM 4GB, Intel i5-3317U 1.70GHz

* Windows 10:
Home x64 edition, CHN
Version: 1903
Installation date: 2020-April-06
OS version: 18362.720

Everything is trying to allocate 8GB ram.

Possible cause is a corrupt database.

Please try deleting your Everything.db and restarting Everything:

• In Windows Explorer, navigate to:
  %LOCALAPPDATA%\Everything
• Delete your Everything.db
• Restart Everything.
