Everything suddenly hangs when clicking or scrolling (allow_lvm workaround)

[kwon1h]

Today, the problem appeared suddenly while I was using Everything 1.4.1.1009. The application starts normally, but clicking inside its window or scrolling the results list causes it to become unresponsive. I do not know what triggered the problem.

I updated to Everything 1.5.0.1424b (x64) today and reinstalled it, but the problem persisted.

System:
- Windows 11 26H2, build 26300.9711
- Everything 1.4.1.1009 before the update; 1.5.0.1424b (x64) after updating today
- Approximately 1.8 million indexed items on NTFS volumes C:, D: and E:

PowerToys was not running when I reproduced the issue. During diagnosis, the hang stack repeatedly showed Windows UI Automation and ListView message handling. Setting allow_lvm=0 in the machine-wide Everything.ini stopped the hangs. Clicking, scrolling, and searching then worked with the same index. The underlying cause is unknown; this setting is currently a workaround.

Are you using a screen reader? or Screenpipe?
