Everything ONLY showing nonexistant, random, irrelevant and unusual files on Windows 11

[Localbox]

Title says it all. Everything is completely broken because I can't search up anything else aside from all these irrelevant files. I didn't put in any search terms. Whenever I reinstall, it works fine the first time it's open but then has the same issue.

These files go on for effectively forever.

Same issue here.

Everything here is just random... I don't know why it's doing this. Is this an issue with Windows 11? How do I fix this?

By default, when Everything opens, all files are shown.

When you enter a search term, the results should then be filtered.
Search for

license.txt

.

Are you not then shown files that contain the string "license.txt" (in the file name &/or path)?

I do. It seems to be only system files and also other random files.. When I search for something else, like a song saved on my computer, it doesn't show up.

What is the search term you are using?
Is the song stored on a local drive or elsewhere?
Tell us about your drives.

I only have my main drive and google drive. The songs are stored on my local drive. The search term is just the name of the song and nothing else. The song does not show up when I search it.
