1 to 2 Minute Scan At Every Startup

[jonjonz]

I have been using Everything for a year or so and up until a few days ago, it always started up immediately without a scan. I have been running the service at system startup. A few days ago something changed and now every time I start the program it takes a minute or two to scan my drives.

Have I inadvertently flipped some option that causes this or am I just losing my mind, and just imagining that the program used to start without scanning so long.

Sorry it is actually the first time daily only. Is that normal or have I changed something?

Let's check some relevant settings first:

• Go to Menu:Tools > Options > General
• Enable Store settings and data in %APPDATA%\Everything
• Enable Start Everything on system startup
• Disable Run as administrator
• Enable Everything Service
• Press OK Button
• Completely exit Everything: right-click the Everything icon in the systemtray and choose Exit
• Start Everything again.
• See what tomorrow brings.

Some questions:
- what vrsion of Everything
- do you have folders configured under Menu:Tools > Options > Indexes > Folders ?
- If yes, what is the rescan schedule for each?

I ran through your checklist and found I had the Store settings and Run as Administrator wrong.

I also checked and the shortcut I had created to start the program I had also set to run as administrator.

After correcting those three things and reboot, it starts up in a flash now.

I am running version 1.4.1.969 and do not have any folders configured.

Thanks for your help!
