Can't find a file in the C drive

[terminator]

Title says everything.
when I try to search for a file or folder in the C drive, I find nothing, even if the file or folder exists

[therube]

Any file?
All files?
A particular file?

Are you running the Everything service?
Otherwise are you running Everything "as Administrator"?

[terminator]

I tried it with many files and folders that I know they exist in the C drive, but I found nothing
besides, Everything is running as administrator

any other file is found

[almeidaz]

you search like this in the search field :

c:\myfile

?

Is your C: drive NTFS?

[terminator]

My C drive is NTFS
So when I do a search, if I type C:\ I only found three files and folders, as if there were only 3 in my C drive



however, if I type D:\ I normally get a list of files and folders in the disk D ie 16095

Please make a backup of anything important on your C: drive and check your C: drive for errors:

To check your C: drive for errors, run chkdsk:

• In Windows Explorer, Right click your C: drive and click Properties.
• Click the Tools tab.
• Click Check Now.
• Check Automatically fix file system errors.
• Click Yes to schedule a disk check.
• Restart your computer.
• Does chkdsk find any errors?

I did it, no errors

Just like to add, I am facing exactly the same issue, tried deleting .ini file, reinstalling, etc. but everything can't find files on c:\ drive (except 2-3 folders, which I created on c:\ root)

I thoughts its some permissions issues but tried everything with Administrator rights and issue remains persistent.

Please try forcing a rebuild from Tools -> Options -> Indexes -> Force rebuild.
