Missing context menu

[pantsonhead]

I used to use the context menu entry a lot in Windows 7, but in Windows 10 the entry is missing. Reinstalling didn't help. Any ideas?

Windows 10 Pro x64
Everything x64 installed with service

[void]

Thanks for the bug report.

Everything context menus appear to be working for me on Windows 10 Pro x64.

In Everything, please press Ctrl + ~ to show the debug console.
What is displayed in the Debug console after trying to right click an item?

If I right click anything in Windows Explorer I don't see any debug info, but inside Everything I get this if I bring the context menu up on a search result:

In Sysinternals AutoRuns it doesn't look like there are any context menu entries for Everything, if that helps:

Thanks for the debug output.
Sorry, I thought the issue was with the context menus in Everything.
Now I understand that it is the context menu item "Search Everything..." in Explorer.

Is Everything -> Tools -> Options -> General -> Show folder context menus checked?

[pantsonhead]

Yep, that is checked.

Sorry, I should have been more specific.

[void]

No worries...

Is Everything -> Tools -> Options -> General -> "Show folder context menus" checked with a tick or with a square?
A Square would indicate that the context menu is only partially installed.

In the Registry Editor (Start -> Run -> Regedit)

Does the following key exist?

Code: Select all

HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\shell\Search Everything...\command

[pantsonhead]

Ticked with a tick.

That key exists and its contents read:

"C:\Program Files\Everything\Everything.exe" -path "%1"

Which is the correct path.

[void]

Odd, are the context menu items "Open in new window" and "Pin to Quick access" shown in the context menu when you right click a folder in Explorer?

[pantsonhead]

Yep.
edit:
The Everything option is there now

It must have been fixed when I toggled the option in the Everything settings off and on and then restarted my PC
