Somethimes or often the Everything Service is checked with a black square

Somethimes or often the Everything Service is checked with a black square (although it was checked with a checkmark before):


Why does that happen? How could one avoid that?

[void]

The square-tick means the Everything Service is installed but not running.

The Everything Service might be crashing?

Do you have any Everything .dmp files?

Could you please check your event viewer:

• From the Start menu, search for eventvwr
• Click Event Viewer
• On the left, click Windows Logs
• Then click System under Windows Logs.
• Are there any recent logs here mentioning the Everything Service?

Do you have a third party program that might be stopping the Everything Service?

The Everything Service might be crashing?

Yes, I would think so.

Do you have any Everything .dmp files?

It does not look like that:

Are there any recent logs here mentioning the Everything Service?

No, I would say, just something here:


Or:

Do you have a third party program that might be stopping the Everything Service?

I couldn't rule it out, but I knew nothing about it.

Thanks for the information.

The Everything Service is crashing for you.

Do you have any Everything .dmp files?

Please try searching for:

everything *.dmp


Do you have any everything dmp files under:
C:\Windows\System32\config\systemprofile\AppData\Local\CrashDumps

-If you do, could you please send these to support@voidtools.com

OK:

Do you have any everything dmp files under:
C:\Windows\System32\config\systemprofile\AppData\Local\CrashDumps

I do not even have that folder in that path.
Only this one:
C:\Users\-\AppData\Local\CrashDumps\

I use the portable version.

Thanks for checking.

Please try enabling crash dumps:

To enable mini crash dumps for Everything on Windows 7 or later:

• Download everything_localdumps.zip and open the reg file inside to enable local dumps for Everything.exe (or set this manually -see below)
• Open the everything_localdumps.reg file.
• Click Run.
• When Everything crashes, a mini crash dump file will be stored in %LOCALAPPDATA%\CrashDumps
• The mini crash dump filename will look something like: Everything64.exe.xxxx.dmp
• Please send the most recent Everything64.exe.xxxx.dmp to support@voidtools.com

To manually enable mini crash dumps for Everything on Windows 7 or later:

• In Regedit, Create the following key:
  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Windows Error Reporting\LocalDumps\Everything.exe
• In this key, create a new DWORD value and call it DumpType
• Set the DumpType value to: 1 (Hexadecimal)
• When Everything crashes, a mini crash dump file will be stored in %LOCALAPPDATA%\CrashDumps (C:\Windows\System32\config\systemprofile\AppData\Local\CrashDumps for services)
• The mini crash dump filename will look something like: Everything64.exe.xxxx.dmp
• Please send the most recent Everything64.exe.xxxx.dmp to support@voidtools.com

The next time you notice the square checkbox, please send your Everything dmp file under:
C:\Windows\System32\config\systemprofile\AppData\Local\CrashDumps

Sorry, what is that link for? What is that supposed to tell me?

[void]

Thank you.

Sorry, what is that link for? What is that supposed to tell me?

That I will delete any crash dumps you send me after 7 days.
(voidtools doesn't collect any user data)

OK, thank you!
