Everything becomes slow and sometimes no response when working with Powertoys

[DittoWii]

I installed EverythinPT 0.85.1, with Everything version 1.5a, Powertoys version 0.85.1. Everything is installed in the default path, with alpha disabled. They work well in the beginning, but when I search more frequently, Everything becomes slow and sometimes no response. But using Everything solely is fine. Sometimes the search results are already returned by Everything, but PowerToys is still no response. I am glad to provide more info if necessary.

turn off preview, it's trying to download the thumbnail, but there seems to be dome issues with it, so it's hanging. 將preview功能關掉，雲端檔案讀取預覽有時會有些問題 https://github.com/lin-ycv/EverythingPowerToys/wiki/Features#preview

Thanks a lot~ I turned off preview, it's still hanging, and i found some other exceptions in log. 感谢！ 我尝试关掉了Preview功能，卡顿依然存在。我在log中发现了如下错误：

so the issue is here: https://github.com/lin-ycv/EverythingPowerToys/blob/744be805fb02b4fb34101f051c4ce739442c6e1e/Everything.cs#L135-L137 for some reason the path is null? do you know which file and location is throwing this error? are there some specical characters in the file path or something?

Thanks a lot! after tests, no specific paths will lead to this error. generally, the initial two or three searches return results successfully. i will do more tests latter to find the potential problems...
