Error: Everything 未运行 ( Everything service is not running)

[Zim-Inn]

I'm on Windows 11, Everything Version 1.5a(x64), PowerToys 0.94.0 and I installed ECP3 from the ComandPalette.

I set the everything exe path at D:\Everything 1.5a\Everything64.exe.

As I search via the plugin, it always shows

Launch Everthing
0xE0000002

And if i click the error result, it focus the window to my running on everything

The exe path is only used for show more option.

To correct link the plugin with everything, you need to set the instance name, but default 1.5a uses the instance name 1.5a or (empty, unnamed) depending on if you disabled alpha instance or not. In both these cases ECP3 should be able to automatically link to everything.

Are you using a custom instance name?

[Zim-Inn]

where to config the instance name?

I am not sure how to get the certain instance name.

I found my everything.ini . And the instance_name in it was "".
Then i set it to 1.5a.
But it still doesn't work

[Zim-Inn]

I missed this property due to it has no displayed desc in the Chinese UI.

based on this image, i think your instance name is 1.5a, which is the default, so i don't think it's an issue with ECP configuration.

Check your Everything options, is everything service on or off?

I've literally got the same problem, with:
everything 1.5.0.1396a
powertoys 0.95.0
I've tried to change the instance name setting to "1.5a" and "", but it didn't work. Everything services is also turned on and i've tried to switch the administator mod, but none of the methods works.
