Default is "Everything" doing some mining?

Especially as, when I start
Everything from cold after a restart, it _does_ take a few tens of
seconds before filling the search window, so I assume it's doing some
indexing then - but, only for a few tens of seconds, and it does settle
down. I can't think what it could be doing indefinitely, or why it
should start sometime _after_ being started.


I think you've hit upon a big clue. If it's taking tens of seconds to
initially fill the results window, you probably don't have it configured
to start with Windows. In addition to that, I always configure it to run
as a service, but I think not having it start with Windows is the most
likely culprit in your case.

You can check those settings in Tools, Options, General.
