Upgrade Windows

Post by sigourneyanderson »

Hi everyone,

After upgrading from Windows version 1903 to version 2004, Everything no longer searches anything in my “Documents” folder on the “C” drive (full path is “C:\Users\sigourney\Documents”). It does search and find everything else on the “C” outside of that folder and it searches all my other drive letters.

What do I need to do to get Everything to search that folder again?

Thanks to anybody who can help me out.

Please make sure no search options are checked under the Search menu (eg: uncheck match case, uncheck match whole words, uncheck regex)

Please make sure the Everything filter is active under the Search menu.

Please make sure these files are not excluded from Tools -> Options -> Exclude.

Please try forcing a rebuild:
  • In Everything, from the Tools menu, click Options.
  • Click the Indexes tab on the left.
  • Click Force Rebuild.
  • Click OK.
