Bug:I cannot update Everything sometimes

[vsub]

This is what I do what I want to update it
1.Bring the everything window and File=>Exit
2.Go to the everything folder and run a bat file as admin which contains

Code: Select all

net stop Everything
pause
net start Everything

and I get this

Code: Select all

C:\WINDOWS\system32>net stop Everything
The Everything service is stopping.
The Everything service was stopped successfully.


C:\WINDOWS\system32>pause
Press any key to continue . . .

When the cmd window is waiting,that is the time to replace the exe but sometimes,I get an error that the process is still in use
When I open the task manager,I can see that the everything process is still in there(not the service)and it is doing literally nothing(no cpu cycles)

To fix that,I have to hit enter in the cmd window so the service is started again,run Everything again(no new instance is created)but the everything window appears and then I File=>Exit again and this time I can see that the main process(not the service)is properly closed
Then run the bat file again and everything is fine this time

I am using the latest version but this is not the first time it happens

I suspect the Everything process is shutting down and waiting for a COM call to complete.

It sounds like the COM call eventually completes after a minute or so.

Are you indexing properties?
A common cause is a third party property handler getting stuck reading a property.



Could you please send a mini crash dump when the process is still running:

• Download Process Explorer from Microsoft:
  https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/downloads/process-explorer
• In Process Explorer, select Everything.exe (If there is two, select the one using the most memory)
• Exit Everything.
  ---wait for a few seconds---
• Right click Everything.exe and under Create Dump, select Create Mini Dump.
• Choose a filename and click Save.
• Please send this file to support@voidtools.com

To terminate Everything (not recommended):

• In Everything, type in the following search and press ENTER:
  /exit-now

-or-

• In Everything, press Ctrl + `
• In the Debug console, press Ctrl + C

Everything will exit immediately, new changes to settings and data will be lost.

You mean,create that crash dump when the problem appears?

[void]

Yes, please.

It will show where Everything is 'stuck'.

It may take while because it happens at random
I hope I remember to do it when this happens again
