Windows 11 + Everything Portable not indexing

Post by DonVoidEver »

I used to be able to just unpack the Portable Zip 64-bit, select the bottom option related to NTFS indexing and there wasn’t any need for admin credentials that way.
Then after adding the Folders in Options  Indexes it will create the Index and it works.
This has worked for 2 years on several laptops.

However with new laptops, which are Windows 11 23H2, the index just keeps building. No search results ever appear. Using version 1.4.1.1026 .
Even with an installed version of Everything the same issues appear. I’ve tried installing the ‘service’ too , didn’t help either.

I've also tried 'force rebuild' but it's just not doing anything it seems

Any feedbaack or suggestions is appreciated, I really like the Portable option

Aside from the actual issue, see if Everything 1.5 Alpha works?
ZIP is fine. Unzip & run & ... ?

Please try putting Everything in debug mode and watch the current folder being indexed:
  • Type in the following search and press ENTER:
    /debug
  • Type in the following search and press ENTER:
    /verbose
  • The current folder being scanned is shown in Green text.
Is Everything making progress?
What folder is Everything getting stuck on?
