some folder or files can not be found by everything

Post by lumping »

I use everyting to search some driver files under the path C:\Windows\System32\DriverStore.For example, the file "nvopencl64.dll" can not be found by everything,but this file exists and can be found by windows search.

Everything version is V1.4.1.1017 (x64),and my computer system is win10 21H2 19044.1826.

This file is a hard link.

While Everything 1.4 indexes hard links, it does not maintain them.

Please try forcing a rebuild:
  • In Everything, from the Tools menu, click Options.
  • Click the Indexes tab on the left.
  • Click Force Rebuild.
  • Click OK.


The next version of Everything will maintain new and changed hard links.
