Installation methods

  1. Self-Extraction Installer (EXE) :
    • Automatically closes PowerToys and extracts files to %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\PowerToys\PowerToys Run\Plugins
    • Automatically launches PowerToys after install if PT is install at one of the two default locations
  2. Manual Installation (ZIP) [Recommended]:
    • The preferred method, some users are still experiencing AV FP with this version of installer
    1. Exit Powertoys
    2. Extract the folder in the zip file to %LOCALAPPDATA%\Microsoft\PowerToys\PowerToys Run\Plugins
    3. Restart PowerToys
  3. WinGet : winget install lin-ycv.EverythingPowerToys
    • WinGet comes preinstalled with Windows 11 and Windows 10 version 1809+
    • WinGet package needs to go through manual review process; therefore when a new release is published, there's a delay before it becomes available.
    • Winget dependencies will check for Powertoys

    Everything is NOT listed as a dependency, as you can choose to use either
    1.4 : winget install voidtools.Everything
    or 1.5a : winget install voidtools.Everything.Alpha

  4. Chocolatey : choco install everythingpowertoys
    • Chocolatey needs to be installed separately
    • Chocolatey package also need a review process, but it's automated, and usually approved within 6 hours
    • Chocolately dependencies will only check for Everything 1.4, as 1.5a is not available on chocolatey, and the PowerToys Chocolately package does not install when listed as a dependency (#55)
  5. Scoop : scoop install everythingpowertoys

Plugin settings for Everything in PT Run will appear at the bottom instead of the usual position at the top.

For methods 1 and 2, both Everything and PowerToys needs to be installed manually
*This plugin does not work with the lite version of Everything, lite does not support IPC
if you are on 1.5 alpha, you need to Disable alpha Instance, read #74 (comment)
if you're on ARM, read this: #45 (comment)
