Everything Search not opening on win10

Post by vidweb »

Hi,

I have never had any problems with running Everything Search on my pc.

I love using it and have for many years.

Now all of a sudden, it will not work at all.

I have downloaded the latest version 1.4.1.932 64 bit as I am running win 10.

I fully uninstalled the previous version on my pc and installed this latest update.

It installs okay, but will not even run at all, it doesn't even open. I have also tried using the Administrator function.

Please help.

Thank you.
Ken :(

Thanks for the bug report.

Is your anti-virus software blocking Everything from running?

Please try launching Everything in debug mode:
  • From a command prompt (right click the start menu and click command prompt), navigate to C:\Program Files\Everything:
    CD C:\Program Files\Everything
  • Launch Everything with the -debug command line option:
    Everything.exe -debug
  • What is shown in your command console?
You should see something like:

Code: Select all

Everything
Version 1.4.1.933 (x64)
Windows NT 6.1
Processors 8
IsAdmin 1
AppData 0
Service 0
cmdline "C:\dev\Everything-1.4\x64\Release\Everything.exe" -instance 1.4
load localization

So after you "run" it, "Everything.exe" does not show up in Windows Task Manager?

Hi,

Thank you.

I am not sure if I am adding this code correctly in Cmd as it is not recognizing the command

Please check and let know.

Hi therube,

Thanks.

No, it is not showing up in the Windows Task Manager - Processes.

However, it is showing up under Services - but it says "stopped" - I tried to start it with right click and I get this error message.

Thanks
Ken

Please double check your spelling, it should be:
CD C:\Program Files\Everything

Followed by:
Everything.exe -debug

Hi,

My bad :)

I have entered the correct parameters and still nothing.

I clicked to open Everything and used Administrator function - still doesn't open and doesn't feature in Processes.

Are you able to do a TeamViewer?

Thanks

Could you please send your teamviewer details to support@voidtools.com

In the meantime, could you please check if your Everything.exe is signed:
  • In Windows Explorer, navigate to C:\Program Files\Everything
  • Right click your Everything.exe and click Properties.
  • Click the Digital Signatures tab.
  • Make sure the Name of signer is voidtools
  • Click Details.
  • Make sure the digital signature information says:
    This digital signature is OK.

I checked the Digital Signatures Tab and it reads
David Carpenter.

I tried to change this to voidtools but unable.

I have sent you the Teamviewer details to you email

Thanks

Hi Void,

I am still not getting Everything to work,

I have tried Opruimen - no luck.

I have also tried to uninstall the previous version 12.06.2018 and install an update.

Even though I click on Uninstall it does not uninstall.

Could please help me this again.

I have sent TeamViewer details.

Thanks
Ken

The issue was caused by Avast Cleanup

Avast Cleanup has set itself as the debugger for a few applications:
https://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=209981.0

Deleting the following key in the Registry Editor fixed the issue:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Image File Execution Options\Everything.exe

Thanks for your help Ken.
