Hello:
I have used Everything for many years, it's a great product and I used it daily. Recently, I have experienced an issue of network shares getting "wiped" from Everything whenever I re-start my system. Once I re-map (re-add to Everything), the network drive (a NAS) shows up in search results again. However, I never had this issue in the past. The drive mapping IS persistent in Windows.
Any advice on how to troublehshoot this? I did do an upgrade to my NAS to add more space recently, but the drive mapping letter was retained.
Any troubleshooting tips would be appreciated.
Network Drive Mapping Not Persistent
Re: Network Drive Mapping Not Persistent
Are you Running 'as Administrator' or are you using the Everything Service?
Oh, I'll say it, incorrectly, but something like, eh, mapped letter belongs to the User account, so if running Everything 'as Admin'...
UNC path should work; \\NAS\Music, I'm thinking.

If you are running Everything as an administrator, you will be unable to see your network drives.
Please make sure Everything is installed correctly:
