An problem with "Everything software" by VoidTools

[RebekahCat]

I have this issue where Everything uses too much CPU usage even when I'm not using it. If I open the software the first time and don't use it then close it to put it in the tray, it's fine and remains at 0% CPU usage. Once I start using it and I'm done with it, I then close it, it will start using 10-20% CPU usage constantly even if it's not being used.

Does anyone know how to fix that problem? Thanks!

The version is 1.5a, but it does the same on the 1.4 version.

Everything shouldn't have any noticeable CPU usage.
