PDF Preview problem

Post by syriacdan »

Hi, my preview panel frequently stops working for PDFs while continuing to work for other formats. Any ideas what's gone wring?
thanks

Which Everything version ?
What is the configured PDF previewer in Windows ?

PDF Preview in Everything works fine here, tested with 2 different tools
- SumatraPDF
- PDF-XChange

Please make sure Everything is not running as an administrator:
  • In Everything, from the Tools menu, click Options.
  • Click the General tab on the left.
  • Check Store settings and data in %APPDATA%\Everything
  • Uncheck Run as administrator.
  • Check Everything Service. (Please make sure this is tick-checked and not square-checked)
  • Click OK.
  • Exit Everything (right click the Everything tray icon and click Exit).
  • Restart Everything.
-If you make any changes above, please restart your PC to ensure no PDF process is also running as an admin.
