Freeze on Opening PDF

Post by nesedenyana »

Anybody else experiences freeze when double-clicking the PDF from content search results?

First guess: you are running Everything as administrator and use Adobe Reader.
([Administrator] will be shown in Everything's title bar)


Ttry running Everything as a standard user and see if that helps:
  • 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.

Hi, thanks for the answer.
It's not the case. All the settings are already as you said. But you can see the behaviour in the video here: https://1drv.ms/v/s!Aoa3tihSXbBwsagZpWDG2N2UvzaEcQ

Good! Then it's time for a second guess :D

(which I don't have at the moment ..)
Was there any activity shown in the statusbar? (like a progress bar)


And thanks for the video. That helps.

Third guess ...
Did you have the preview pane open? Try with that pane closed.
If that solves the issue, upgrade to version 1.5.0.1338a as that version fixes a couple of preview issues.
