The work around I've arrived at is creating a new instance & launching with -instance "Main" argument, which for some reason works. Initially I did this just to see if it would work with stock settings, then slowly added my settings to it to see which one was causing the problem.
I've deleted the AppData\Roaming\Everything files the default instance uses to no avail. In my 2nd instance, all the settings are the same. As far as I can tell, the problem seems to be because the default instance detects a "PortableBaseLayer" drive that doesn't get detected by the non-default instances. And the problem only happens if I index drive C:\ on this default instance. I can index C:\ no problem using the -instance "Main" instance.
I think I've had this problem before as well, but in the past, I manually deleted PortableBaseLayer from Everything-1.5a.ini & it stayed gone. Now for some reason, Everything is redetecting it & it keeps coming back.
Everything-1.5a.ini default instance without drive C:\ included (so it doesn't lockup & crash):
