Please help! Run history issue

[maye9999]

Last month, Everything was right and remembering my history choice. For example, I type 'abc.exe' and run it for the first time. After that, I could just type 'ab' and press Enter to focus on abc.exe file. However, these days this function has no use AFTER RESTART my computer, which means that it only works and remembers my choice before I restart my computer.

I've tried to reinstall Everything but the problem remains. And I've checked %appdata% path and 'Run History.csv' exists after reboot.

Looking forward to anyone's help!

Thanks a lot!

Please make a backup of your %APPDATA%\Everything.

Please try enabling Store settings and data in %APPDATA%\Everything:

• In Everything, from the Tools menu, click Options.
• Click the General tab on the left.
• Check Store settings and data in %APPDATA%\Everything.
• Click OK.
• Exit Everything (right click the Everything system tray icon and click Exit)
• Replace %APPDATA%\Everything with your backup.
• Restart Everything.

Thank you for your help but it seems no use....

The ``Store settings and data in %APPDATA%\Everything'' was checked before I've done anything. I follow the instruction but the problem remains. The history 'abc' pops up when I type 'a' but when I use the down arrow to enter 'abc', it focuses on the first line, instead of 'abc.exe'.

Anyway, thanks a lot. Looking forward to your help!

Run history is stored in the following file:
%APPDATA%\Everything\Run History.csv

Please try sorting by run history and check if your run history information is still there.

To sort by run history:

• In Everything, from the View menu, under the Sort by submenu, click Run Count.

Your Run History should be listed at the top of the results.

Does it look like all your run history is there?

To show the Run count for each item:

• In Everything, right click the column header and click Run Count.

Thank you very much.

Sorting by run history works and the run history information is getting correctly.

However, when I restart my computer, I find that some of the files are "gone" or "missing". Only after I click the "force rebuild index" button, everything goes fine including the run history.

Therefore, I suppose maybe this is the key problem? Any suggestions about why some files are gone after reboot?

Looking forward to your kind help!

Thank you so much for your patience.

I've run the disk check but it seems fine....
