Default What's "Everything" doing?

I just found Everything using most of one of my cores, after leaving the
machine unattended - but on - for some hours. It showed in task manager
as using 2x% of CPU (Task Manager thinks I have four cores), and when I
shut it down (via the tray icon, not from Task Manager), CPUsage went
back to idle.

I've just reopened Everything (once I have opened it, I normally leave
it open, as it's so useful), and (after initial peak) it's sitting there
down at near enough zero CPU usage again.

I've noticed this behaviour more than once recently. Anyone know what
it's doing? FWIW, it's "Version 1.4.1.895 (x86)".

(Hour or two later: it's still down in the 00 usage.)


Try the following:

1. Launch Everything.

2. Select [Tools Options] from its menu bar.

3. On the left side of the Everything Options window, select General.

4. On the General pane, uncheck all checkboxes except for "Show Search
Everything folder context menu item" and "EFU file association".

5. Select the OK button.

Attorney-General Sessions claims the bible favors imprisoning illegal
aliens. However, God repeatedly commanded us to welcome the stranger in
our land. For example, see the following:
