Everything is not starting minimized in Windows 10. The search bar appears, and I have to click on it and press escape to get it to go away.
What I've tried:
- in options -> UI, made sure 'run in background' is ticked
- start menu -> run -> 'shell:startup' to get to the Startup directory, then right click on Everything shortcut, select properties, and under Target make sure it's set to "C:\Program Files\Everything\Everything.exe" -startup -minimized" and the Run option is set to "Minimized"
Any other ideas?
Thank you!
I Installed Everything from https://community.chocolatey.org/packages/Everything
OS: Windows 10 Pro 20H2 19042.985

Re: Everything is not starting minimized in Windows 10
Installation through package managers like Scoop, Chocolatey, Ninite, AppGet, NuGet and Windows' own package manager are based on scripts provided by people like you and me. They are not official Everything packages.
So there might be issues with them.
Better use the installation software you can find on the voidtools.com site.
If that gives you any problems, please post your issue on this forum and we probably can solve them for you.

Please try the following target:
"C:\Program Files\Everything\Everything.exe" -startup -minimized
Note there is no trailing "
With the trailing ", Everything might treat -minimized as a search.
Please check Everything is not set to startup elsewhere with msconfig, or the Task Manager -> Startup.
For example, please disable Tools -> Options -> General -> Run Everything on system startup.
The -startup command line option will prevent Everything from showing a search window (Everything will just sit in the system tray)
If an Everything window is still showing up on startup, please check the command line that was used to launch Everything:
"C:\Program Files\Everything\Everything.exe" -startup -minimized

- In Everything, type in the following search and press ENTER:
/debug
---this will show a debug console--- - At the top of the debug console you should see:
cl: "C:\Program Files\Everything\Everything.exe" -startup - What is shown for you?
