Can't Switch To Other Windows without Minimizing Everything

Post by LButterfly »

Hi there,

I'm using Everything 1.4.1.1005 (on Windows 10), and I'm having an issue whenever I have the Everything window open. Whether it's to switch to a search result or to click on any other window/program that I have open, I can't switch to anything without first clicking "minimize" on Everything first. Even using ALT+Tab doesn't work except if I click "minimize" first, even though I could previously easily switch between windows. I tried various settings on Everything, but the issue remains unfixed, and I only have this issue when Everything is running.

Does anyone have any suggestions on how to fix this?

Thanks :)

First guess:

You might have enabled Always On Top (Menu:View > On Top > Always).
That can happen when you (accidentally) press it's keyboard shortcut (CTRL+T ?)

If that is the case: Menu:View > On Top > Never

Wow you were exactly right. The option was set to "Always", and as soon as I switched it to "Never", the issue was resolved!

Thank you so much, I really appreciate it! :D
