Fatal error. Out of memory

[PPP100]

Been a user of Everything for years .
More recently, when I have a single window of search results , usually for video files and keep it open
while referring to it over time and opening and closing various files to play.
I eventually after an hour or so maybe , will get the following error and have to close the program, or it will close by itself.
I am running Win 10 with 16gbs of Ram, 512gb SSD and Ryzen 5 , so decent system.
i've tried limiting the configs for searches to reduce the overall load, and never run more than one search query /instance
at one time, but it keeps happening.
Everything shouldn't be that much of a memory hog, should it?

Are you running the 32-bit version of Everything? Try the 64-bit version instead,
32-bit Windows programs have only access to a limited amount of RAM memory.



A poorly written shell extension could also cause this. Most commonly a context menu shell extension.
To disable these in Everything:

• In Everything, type in the following search and press ENTER:

  Code: Select all

  /context_menu_shell_extensions=0

• If successful, context_menu_shell_extensions=0 is shown in the status bar for few seconds.
• Restart Everything (Menu:File => Exit)

/context_menu_shell_extensions=1 restores the default setting.

Actually having done a search on this forum just after I posted, looks like I'm running the x86
32 bit version, having had the x64 version previously - (didnt get the error earlier previously)
so will try reinstalling the latest 64 but version - (had an old version in the programs folder)
see if that helps.

Hi Yeah
just did a search for the error after I posted and realised I had been running the x86 version.
Have just installed the latest x64 version (which I had used quite some time ago)
Thanks.
