Everything stopped working on Win 10

[takias]

I have been using Everything for years on Win 7 now on Win 10.

Since last week I am getting some strange issue with Everything running on Win10.
When I launch it - it shows 'loading datatbase' in the bottom status bar for long time. Then just shows '0 objects'.
When I noticed such issue first time I tried to fix it by Force Rebuild the database and settings a location for it (the default location is blank).
But it didn't work. So I installed the latest beta version and still it didn't work.
Then I restarted the the laptop and it started working fine.

Since today morning it's again the same issue - status bar show 'Loading Database' and '0 Object'.

Would really appreciate any help to fix this issue.

Update 2017-02-07

After few restarts - Everything started automatically and it's showing the total number of objects in the status bar.
But when you search anything - nothing shows up. Status bar shows the number of objects.



Any idea, what's wrong?

If you are running Everything as standard user, please make sure the "Everything service" is installed and running:

• In Everything, from the Tools menu, click Options.
• Click the General tab.
• Make sure the Everything service is checked with a tick.
• Click OK.

A volume may have been inaccessible, please try forcing a rebuild:

• In Everything, from the Tools menu, click Options.
• Click the Indexes tab.
• Click Force Rebuild.
• Click OK.

When I noticed such issue first time I tried to fix it by Force Rebuild the database and settings a location for it (the default location is blank).

This database location is normally blank.
When blank, the database is stored in default location.
The default location will depend on your Store settings and data in %APPDATA\Everything% setting, if enabled, the database is stored in %APPDATA%\Everything otherwise it is stored in the same location as your Everything.exe

Please make sure "Store settings and data in %APPDATA\Everything" is enabled:

• In Everything, from the Tools menu, click Options.
• Click the General tab.
• Make sure the Everything service is checked with a tick.
• Click OK.

nothing shows up. Status bar shows the number of objects.

The column widths are corrupt, please try the following fix:

• Completely exit Everything (Right click the Everything system tray icon and click Exit)
• Open your Everything.ini in %APPDATA%\Everything
• Delete the following lines:

  Code: Select all

  name_column_pos=
  name_column_width=
  path_column_visible=
  path_column_pos=
  path_column_width=
  size_column_visible=
  size_column_pos=
  size_column_width=
  extension_column_visible=
  extension_column_pos=
  extension_column_width=
  type_column_visible=
  type_column_pos=
  type_column_width=
  last_write_time_column_visible=
  last_write_time_column_pos=

  file_list_filename_column_visible=
  file_list_filename_column_pos=

Thank you Void for your reply.
I pressed alt+2 and all the files became visible.
I was about to post it here - but before that you had replied.

Thanks again

What is "alt+2"?

The window resize feature in Everything itself, or is it something to do with Win10?

[void]

The window resize feature (View -> Window Size), it will auto adjust the visible column widths, fixing them in the process.

This bug has been fixed in the Everything 1.4 beta:
