0 objects, no matter what I do

[traxium]

It shows "0 objects", even if the search box is empty. I have been using Everything for years. But with this new laptop (Windows 11 23H2, encrypted SSD) it almost always shows "0 objects", sometimes it starts working, but I didn't find how to make it work reliably, it seems random. I imagine it could be related to full SSD encryption, but a few times Everything worked as usual, so it can work with encrypted drives.

I tried "Force Rebuild", tried reinstalling Everything, deleting Everything.db and Everything.ini, restarting my PC, running it as a service and as admin, portable and normal versions, nothing helped. When I press Ctrl + `, I see lots of red messages. I also attached "Everything Debug Log.txt" (not verbose, I can make it verbose if needed).

Everything-1.4.1.1027.x64
Windows 11 23H2 (it was the same with previous Windows 11 builds)

Thank you for the images and logs.

Please try checking the drive for errors:

• Please backup anything important on your drive before checking it for errors.
• In Windows Explorer, right click your C: drive and click Properties.
• Click the Tools tab.
• Click Check now...
• Click Start
• If prompted to schedule a scan on the next restart, click Yes.

If the issue persists, please capture a debug log while forcing a rebuild.

I wouldn't recommend using "CHKDSK" if the Master File Table is corrupted.
This can overwrite the file or even cause further damage.
I once lost not only the data but also the original file names this way.

If the Master File Table (MFT) is corrupted on an NTFS volume, running CHKDSK can be risky because:

CHKDSK modifies the filesystem: It tries to repair inconsistencies, which may overwrite damaged MFT entries or mark files as lost.

Potential data loss: If the MFT is already partially corrupted, CHKDSK might move files to the FOUND.000 folder as “lost and found,” making data recovery more difficult.

Further damage risk: In severe corruption cases, CHKDSK could make the filesystem worse instead of better.

Safer alternatives:

Use a read-only disk imaging tool to make a backup of the drive first.

I too have lost data with chkdsk.

That is why I ALWAYS say:

Normal CHKDSK failed:

Then I run

Code: Select all

chkdsk C: /f /r

from Command Prompt as Administrator. It scheduled a scan on the next restart. I restarted, waited CHKDSK, then Force Rebuild and Everything started to work. Thank you!

Please note, that I had this problem with Everything right after I got this new laptop (because Everything is one of the first apps I install on new systems). But Everything worked as expected inside VMs and I was working 99% of my time inside VMs anyway.

Google doesn't know anything about HFS002TEJ9X101N failure rates, Claude says I don't need to by a new SSD, do I?

A Normal chkdsk will fail with access denied. (0xc0000022 from your report)
This is normal and expected.

The SSD status looks fine.

There was likely a master file table issue which chkdsk has resolved.
Please let me know if the you see the issue again.
