If chkdsk is fixing errors you have bigger issues to worry about than Everything missing an item.

Yes- I know

And no- not if it do fixes them correctly; right?

I just wanted to emphasize how many users might unbeknownst brake the Everything monitoring everything concept

So even a single chkdsk fix that affects [i.e. corrects] accessibility of just 1 item of minuscule size that happens to be located on a 22 TB HDD will require from user a manual follow-up in Everything in form of re-inxdexing that whole drive?

Thy Grand Voidinesss

As it turns out I completely forgotten that I had installed for test purposes the 1.4.1.1022 x64 version

And so it was

C:\Program Files\Everything.exe

that was [correctly] not being closed [as there was no instruction for killing of its task]
