Suddenly not starting / no window displayed

Post by jlanza »

Hi all,
I have been using Everything for many years now. All of a sudden without updating or any other strange action, a few days ago Everything has stopped working.
I have Everything installed using winget and lite version. The service is up and running but when I click on the Everything shortcut, there is no screen displayed and I cannot do anything, neither search, nor look at the config, etc. :(
I have tried running from the console using the -debug option and I get the following message:

Code: Select all

ole initialize: 00000000
create mutex
mutex exists
mutex exists
mutex exists
....
Then the console closes.

Can you help me on getting more debug information so I can analyze or provide additional information to solve the issue I have? I want my Everything back!!! ;)

What version of Everything?

If you check (Windows) Task Manager, in addition to the Service, do you see that the Everything (GUI) exists?

The process of the service is always there.
The process of the window/gui (the dialog/window is not showing) is in the list for a while, and after a few seconds it dissapears.
