Hi
Is there a way to disable reindexing all drives during startup? Isn't the index already on the drive? What is the reason it reindexes all drives if I restart my computer or Everything? I am asking because it takes a long time to index my files (including USB drives and spinning disks), and Everything isn’t available for searching during this time.
Thanks

Re: Disable indexing during starup?
Everything should only index once.
Please make sure Everything is installed correctly and running as a standard user:
Everything may need to reindex if there is millions of changes to your file system while Everything wasn't running.
Please make sure there's no stuck Windows updates.
Please make sure there's no software spamming your file system with changes.
Please try sorting results by date modified in Everything and monitoring file system changes.
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 (from the File menu, click Exit).
- Restart Everything.
