I know nothing of 10.
I took a 10 machine home to test a 2560x1440 resolution monitor to see what it looks like.
(My machine only supports up to 1920x1200 over HDMI.)
So of course I have Everything on here.
Well, I have pretty much nothing on here except for Everything
.Anyhow, I'm here to test the monitor.
And I start doing this & that & checking things out.
Then I think, what about a video clip.
And with that, Everything immediately comes to mind.
Simple. Open Everything. Video filter, sort by size.
Shortly thereafter, I notice most everything is lagging.
I'll click to open a program & w a i t.
I'll arrow key down in my file manager, & w a i t.
I'm thinking what in the world it going on?
I find Task Manager worthless, so I fire up Process Hacker (& wait), & I see servicehost & other crap, & it mention wau... well, Windows Automatic Updates.
So I jump back to Everything & sort by date, & I"m see some rather huge files, newly dated, & I think, oh crap, here I am, wanting to test the monitor, & Windows installed this virus on the computer - Windows Updates. All I want to do is test something, & Windows is throwing Gigs of data around.
So my thought is, Windows Updates.
AFAIK, the girl whose machine this is, not sure, perhaps never saw updates ? At least she never got updates while she was working, as I would have heard about it. Maybe because I used my account on the machine, Admin as it is, maybe that's why updates were coming through. So I quit my login, restart & jump over to hers & all looks OK. All's good, so fire up Everything, Video filter, sort by size...
Shortly thereafter, lagging again! What?
Download malwarebytes & run scans.
Didn't expect it to find anything, & it did not.
Reboot again.
Mess around a bit. All looks to be working well, again.
OK, lets open Everything.
There she goes... lagging.
Don't know why?
It is not a CPU usage issue.
Tried .887 x86, & (almost) current beta x64 with same results.
Using Everything Service, started from command-line, as I always do.
Everything.exe -install-service
(Heh, winver is still there.)
Win10 v1607 Build 14393.1914
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/win ... -info.aspx
i5-6400, 12 GB RAM
Dell something or the other, Intel HD 530 graphics
A basic office machine, so it should be, boring.
Some of what I saw, early on, might have been attributable to Windows Updates (which AFAIK) either didn't finish (downloading or didn't install, not sure, huge $BT... directory still exits), but once I got around that, Everything does ? seem to be causing issues on this machine?
The Everything Service does not look to cause issues.
But once I fire up the GUI...
I also deleted the .db & .ini, creating anew, with no change.
Windows 7 Compatibility & Disable high dpi something or the other, no change (taking too long to open to read exact).
Same in both Admin & Limited accounts.
Quiting the GUI, killing the service does not 'right' things.
Computer restart needed... (hmm, log out & back in... ?)
OK, that was enough. Sign out, then log right back in & the computer is acting normally again.
Starting without the Service, Everything sat at "updating database" - for quite some time.
Finally the files showed (should that have happened?) & the prompt to run as admin (or install the service).
And at this point, before going further, things are not right.
Run as admin. Actually had to go through 2 prompts. (Didn't pay attention to either
.)Got that "game" message (but we now know what that is). [There was another program that did similar... a certain filename cause a particular action.]
And Run as admin, matters not, still issues.
Restarting the computer in Safe Mode, & Everything works just fine.
