Suddenly; deletions are SUPER SLOW

[Lampoil]

Hello,

1. I have been using Everything (currently 1.4.1.1028 x64) on this laptop for a year with no problems
2. As far as I can remember I have not made any changes to Windows 11 or Everything settings.
3. Recently although the speed of searches remains great, FILE DELETIONS both from inside Everything as well as via File Explorer
take around 10-15 seconds before the Everything listing is updated. The File Explorer listing is unaffected and remains fast.
4. Example:
- Both File Explorer open and Everything are open
- Both show "Test.txt" in their displays
- I delete "Test.txt" using either program
- It disappears immediately from File Explorer
- It remains showing in Everything for 10-15 seconds before it disappears

Any thoughts??? Thank You

Thanks for the issue report lampoil,

Please upload a debug log:

• In Everything, type in the following search and press ENTER:
  
  /debug_log
• Create a test.txt on the desktop.
• Delete the test.txt from the desktop.
• Wait for the file to disappear from Everything.
• Exit Everything (File -> Exit)
• Restart Everything.
• In Windows Explorer, type in the following address and press ENTER:
  
  %TEMP%
• Please upload your Everything Debug Log.txt from this location in a bug report.

(I'll just throw in here...

Sometimes, like when I rename files, say 4 files, & because of the renaming, they file move out of the viewport, sometimes, say 3 of the 4 just "move", go away immediately, & then the 4th... drags on, for a moment [< 1.s,] - certainly nothing like 10.s, before it too, moves.

Kind of think ? it's always been like that, & I've just considered it a "just the way things are" kind of thing.

abc123 -> XXXabc123
abc456 -> XXXabc456
abc890 -> XXXabc890
bbb123 -> XXXbbb123

I've never looked at Window Explorer or similar to see if I might catch any discrepancies in time.)

UPDATE:
I tried the test but couldn't replicate the slowness then
After further investigation I discovered two things:
1. It takes 30 seconds for the Everything screen to update
2. IT ONLY OCCURS ON MY "DEV" DRIVE PARTITION
"Dev Drive is a new type of storage volume in Windows 11 designed
to enhance performance for developers by using the Resilient File System (ReFS)"

Thanks for the info Lampoil,

From what I am seeing, ReFS Dev drives buffer the USN Journal to improve I/O ops.
This buffer is only flushed every 30 seconds or so.

Everything will only see changes every 30 seconds or so.
Instead of indexing as ReFS, please try folder indexing instead:

• In Everything, from the Tools menu, click Options.
• Click the ReFS tab on the left.
• Select your Dev Drive and uncheck Include in database.
• Click the Folders tab on the left.
• Click Add....
• Select your Dev Drive and click OK.
• Click OK.

Indexing performance will be the same.
Everything should pickup changes immediately.

Looking into this more..

The new Windows ReFS driver no longer supports overlapped IO on FSCTL_READ_USN_JOURNAL.
It always fails with ERROR_INVALID_USER_BUFFER.
Even if buffers are page aligned, VirtualAlloced, 4k-64k, it doesn't matter..
My buffers are fine when I used non-overlapped IO.

Everything 1.5.0.1406a will now retry monitoring after one second when encountering ERROR_INVALID_USER_BUFFER.
