By default, Everything show video's preview with blurred thumbnail (and slow) with three buttons at bottom: "stop, play/pause, Open in Windows Media Player", but in Windows Explorer, it shows thumbnail like a screenshot of video (higher resolution) without buttons at all, I remember Everything show video's preview like Explorer before, but now it have 3 buttons...
I expect Everything to show preview of video without buttons, just the thumbnail (like Explorer does), which is not blurred, and I use Icaros to generate thumbnail cache to speed up preview progress

You're on 1.4... I think this will do it...
Everything.ini, change the value of:
show_preview_handlers_in_preview_pane=0
to
show_preview_handlers_in_preview_pane=2
