Stuck single-threaded loop on unavailable drive

[arkos]

Steps to reproduce:

• Add a separate, Bitlocker-encrypted drive under the "Indexes - Folders".
• Make sure this volume does not unlock automatically.
• Reboot with the Anything service running and volume locked.
• Observe the bug.

Once the volume has been unlocked at least once, using

Code: Select all

manage-bde -lock -ForceDismount V:

does not result in the same loop or an increased CPU usage.

Thank you for the bug report arkos,

What version of Windows?
What version of Everything?

(I have not been able to reproduce the issue on Windows 10 22H2 with Everything 1.4.0.1023 or 1.5.0.1345a)



Could you please send a mini crash dump:

• Download Process Explorer from Microsoft:
  https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/downloads/process-explorer
• In Process Explorer, select Everything.exe (If there is two, select the one using the most memory)
• Right click Everything64.exe and under Create Dump, select Create Mini Dump.
• Choose a filename and click Save.
• Please send this file to support@voidtools.com

Thank you for the stack dump.

GetVolumeInformation

Everything will call this function when a new volume is available.

There is an issue with Windows and the global WM_DEVICECHANGE notification.
Calling GetVolumeInformation from this WM_DEVICECHANGE notification can cause more WM_DEVICECHANGE notifications to be sent.
You can probably confirm this from looking at the debug console output.

For Everything 1.4, please disable "Automatically include new volumes":

• In Everything, from the Tools menu, click Options.
• Click the NTFS tab on the left.
• Uncheck Automatically include new fixed volumes.
• Uncheck Automatically include new removable volumes.
• Uncheck Automatically remove offline volumes.
• Click OK.

The issue should be fixed in Everything 1.5.
Everything 1.5 will detect locked volumes and avoid accessing volume information from locked volumes.
