EVERYTHING stuck at loading database but only on one user

Please try killing the Everything process, deleting your Everything.db and restarting Everything:
  • From the Task Manager (Ctrl + Shift + ESC), under the Processes Tab, select Everything.
    (If there's more than one, click the one using the most memory)
  • Click End Task.
    ---
  • In Windows Explorer, type in the following address and press ENTER:
    %LOCALAPPDATA%\Everything
  • Delete your Everything.db
  • Restart Everything.
Does the issue persist?

Everything complained about needing administrator something to scan ntfs something

I run as administrator and it works.

Good enough for me. The other account where this works doesn't require me to run as administrator

Better to use the Everything Service (Tools | Options | General -> Everything Service) [rather then running Everything "as Admin"].

You may have terminated the Everything Service.

Please make sure Everything is installed correctly and running as a standard user:
  • 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.
