Bug: Everything GUI does not work in Windows 7

Post by Aurrin »

When launched from the task scheduler as administrator in Windows 7, on some systems Everything becomes completely unresponsive: no GUI, no tray icon, does not respond to hotkeys. I have checked the error log and found no errors. I have followed all of the stickied guides for launching using the task scheduler to bypass UAC. I've added an intermediary call to the command prompt, to autohotkey, and even wrote my own small program that requests the shell launch the program via shell32.dll. I've even tried adding the 1 minute delay suggested in a support forum topic. It simply doesn't work unless it is launched by the shell with a double-click.

I want this listed as an official bug to be fixed because Everything is basically unusable for my computer it it's present state: I can never be certain it's available. I don't even get a prompt on login if I put it in my start folder.

Please fix this and release it!
