What worked in previous versions: Disable Using Everything filters. Logout and Login again. Reenable Using Everything filters. It will search for filters.csv and if not found you will be asked for the path of your filters. Point it to the correct file and it should work.
I prefer to work without the Alpha file extensions and not using the Alpha instance. Makes life much easier and Everything Alpha version compatible with all tools using it.
Windows 11 Home x64 Version 22H2 (OS Build 22621.1495) Everything 1.5.0.1342a (x64) Everything Toolbar 1.0.4.0
The file can be selected by changing the filter. I will not update the filters because the name 'filters-1.5a.csv' is only a temporary name while version 1.5 is in alpha.
Could you make the filter search filters.csv, or even .csv ?
Is there a way to restart EverythingToolbar other than logout/login ?
I tried removing toolbar/ re-adding it, but it doesn't reload the toolbar.
I tried disable and re-enable "use everything filters" but it had no effect, it would be great if that action caused the toolbar to re-read the filters.csv file
Whats the problem to logout/login once to get the question where the filters are stored ? You only have to do this once after an update. Using *.csv is a strange idea as Everything has many csv files in the same place than filters.csv
@shodanx2 You can locate your user settings file at %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft_Corporation\DefaultDomain_Path_letvcrhmovxkwhkcw5vzjcoa5azw22uj\<Explorer version number>\user.config
and either remove the file entirely to reset EverythingToolbar settings or change/remove the filtersPath
setting in there directly.
@srwi Thank you
I did find a file called
C:\Users\shodan\AppData\Local\Microsoft_Corporation\DefaultDomain_Path_letvcrhmovxkwhkcw5vzjcoa5azw22uj\10.0.19041.2311\user.config
It contained the following
While setting it up I was a little confused and pointed it to a copy of the file .old I was wondering why I was not able to update the filters no matter what I did, even restarts

Here is my latest "Start Everything" filter BTW
Name,Case,Whole Word,Path,Diacritics,Prefix,Suffix,Ignore Punctuation,Ignore Whitespace,Regex,Search,Columns,Sort,Descending,View,Macro,Key "Start Everything",0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,"<""%SystemRoot%""|""%PROGRAMFILES%""|""%PROGRAMFILES(X86)%""|""%PROGRAMDATA%""|""%userprofile%"" .exe|.bat|.vbs|.cmd|.ps1>|<""%userprofile%\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs""|""%PROGRAMDATA%\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs"" .lnk> !""%userprofile%\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.Windows.Search"" !""C:\Windows\WinSxS\"" !""C:\Windows\servicing\LCU""","","",0,,,
I confirm I can now update filters in everything
In EverythingToolbar I only need to Disable then re-enable "Use Everything Filters"
Then unset and re-set the filter
And the filter gets updated
Here is my latest "Start Everything" filter
<"%SystemRoot%"|"%PROGRAMFILES%"|"%PROGRAMFILES(X86)%"|"%PROGRAMDATA%"|"%userprofile%" .exe|.bat|.vbs|.cmd|.ps1>|<"%userprofile%\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs"|"%PROGRAMDATA%\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs" .lnk> !"%userprofile%\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.Windows.Search" !"C:\Windows\WinSxS" !"C:\Windows\servicing\LCU" !"C:\Windows\System32\DriverStore\" !"%PROGRAMFILES(X86)%\Microsoft Office\Updates\Download" !"%PROGRAMFILES%\Microsoft Office\Updates\Download"
Preflight Checklist

Steps to reproduce
Preference -> Use everything filter
Search for %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming\Everything\Filters-1.5a.csv however the file cannot be found due to filter allowing only files with the exact name "filters.csv"
Expected Behavior
If instance name has been set to 1.5a
Program should look for the file
%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming\Everything\Filters-1.5a.csv
by default and filename filter should be something like filters.csv or filters-1.5a.csv or simply .csv
Actual Behavior
Program unable to find filters-1.5.csv
Screenshots
No response
Log output
Unable to provide as it does not ask again once provided
I am also now unable to update my filters after changing them in everything
