Everything 1.5 Alpha change options triggered restart + indexing = UI gone
as a first time user starting with 1.5.0.1408a. UI disappeared while process is still running when I changed and apply some options that triggered Everything to restart while it's indexing and building DB. this continues until indexing is completed

Thank you for the issue report WishingStars,
Sounds like Everything is silently crashing.
If the issue persists, please send your Help -> Troubleshooting information.

I suspect there was no crash since process is still running with high HDD I/Ovoid wrote: Mon Apr 06, 2026 2:35 am Thank you for the issue report WishingStars,

thought this was a bug. looks like Everything can't terminate while indexing. changing options triggered immediate restarts without any prior hint or warning that killed the UI but indexing task continued for more than 35 minutes. eventually, Everything process terminated and UI showed up which completes the restart process from options changing

Re: Everything 1.5 Alpha change options triggered restart + indexing = UI gone
Changing the following settings will trigger a restart:
Language
Run as administrator
UI Scale
Enable plugins
Did you change one of these settings?
Everything will wait until indexing completes before restarting.
The UI and tray icon will close immediately.
I have put on my TODO list to show a *requires a restart next to the ok/apply buttons.

Re: Everything 1.5 Alpha change options triggered restart + indexing = UI gone
That is possible.UI disappeared while process is still running
If you Quit Everything, (or I suppose ? if Everything had crashed ?), & the indexing hadn't yet completed, & the .db written out to disk.
