This is a most likely caused by Windows 10 Address space layout randomization (ASLR).

While Everything supports ASLR, the installer does not.

Please try one of the following methods:

Method 1
Install Everything with the MSI installer.

Method 2

If you wish to keep ASLR on as the default, please add the Everything Setup executable to the exclude list for ASLR:

• From the Start menu, type in the following:
  defender
• Click on Windows Defender Security Center.
• Click the App & Browser control button on the left (second from the bottom)
• Click Exploit Protection Settings.
• Click the Program Settings tab.
• Click Add program to customize.
• Click Choose exact file path.
• Select your Everything Setup executable file, for example Everything-1.4.1.895.x64-Setup.exe
• Scroll down to Force randomization for images (Mandatory ASLR)
• Check Override system settings.
• Make sure it is Off.
• Click Apply.
• Click Yes for Do you want to allow this app to make changes to your device.

Method 3

Install the portable version manually:

• Download the portable version of Everything
• Extract Everything.exe to C:\Program Files\Everything.
• Run Everything.exe
• Choose Install Everything Service if requested.
• Choose Store settings and data in %APPDATA%\Everything if requested.
• In Everything, from the Tools menu, click Options.
• Click the General tab on the left.
• Make sure Store settings and data in %APPDATA%\Everything is checked.
• Make sure Everything Service is checked.
• Check Start Everything on system startup (optional).
• Check Desktop shortcut (optional).
• Check Start menu shortcuts (optional).
• Click OK.
• Click Yes for Do you want to allow this app to make changes to your device.

Method 4

Disable ASLR:

• From the Start menu, type in the following:
  defender
• Click on Windows Defender Security Center.
• Click the App & Browser control button on the left (second from the bottom)
• Click Exploit Protection Settings.
• Change Force randomization for images (Mandatory ASLR) to: Off by default.
• Click Yes for Do you want to allow this app to make changes to your device.
• Restart your computer.

Yes, an ASLR friendly installer is in development.
