Some ideas:

Is a Everything.exe process created when you run Everything.exe?
  • Press Ctrl + Shift + ESC to open the Task Manager.
  • Click the Details tab.
  • Is Everything.exe listed? Please note there should be two processes. One for the search client and one for the Everything Service (if you have the service installed)
  • Click the Services tab.
  • Is Everything listed? Is its status set to Running?
Something wrong with the code signing certificate? certificate store? -Could you please check the Digital Signature on your Everything.exe:
  • Right click your Everything.exe and click Properties.
  • Click the Digital Signatures tab.
  • voidtools should be shown in the signature list.
  • Select voidtools and click Details.
  • Please make sure the digital signature is listed as OK:
Disable ASLR:
  • From the Start menu, type in: security
  • Click Windows Security
  • Click App & Browser control on the left
  • Click Exploit Protection Settings
  • Set Force randomization for images (Mandatory ASLR) to Use default (Off)
  • Restart your PC.
Add an exception for Everything.exe to your anti-virus.

Does running Everything as an administrator help?

Please try starting Everything in debug mode:
  • From a command prompt, navigate to your Everything location, eg:
    cd \program files\Everything
  • Launch Everything with the -debug command line option:
    Everything.exe -debug
  • Is anything shown in the command prompt?
