This is strange...one day, Everything stopped scanning my NAS drive, as if it didn't exist?
I haven't made any special changes...any ideas?
Thanks!
Everything stopped scanning NAS?
Re: Everything stopped scanning NAS?
Please check if Everything is running as admin.
Everything will be unable to see your mapped network drives if running as admin.
Please make sure Everything is installed correctly and running as a standard user:

Re: Everything stopped scanning NAS?
Hi,
Thanks for the thorough reply!
Here are the answers to your questions...
Any other ideas?
This so annoying, I rely so much on Everything, it's easily one of my favorite add-on Windows apps!
[UPDATE] I noticed there was an update available so I'm now on v1.4.1.1026 but that hasn't solved my problem unfortunately.

Please make sure your NAS is included in your index:
Please try forcing a rebuild:
- In Everything, from the Tools menu, click Options.
- Click the Folders tab on the left.
- Click Add....
- Select your NAS share (\\server\share) or mapped network drive and click OK.
- Click OK.

I guess it could work this way but I'm almost certain it wasn't that way before because it used just view the NAS as one entity. In this way, I'll have to enter about 8 different folders to cover all the parent folders in the NAS (Music, Photos, Videos,etc...).
