Description

For some reason, every time I use CmdPal after some time gap, Everything takes over a minute to start (e.g. right now I measured 2.5 minutes between entering the prompt and getting results); attempting to open the actual app at that time results in it not responding. This has been repeated with both CmdPal and CmdPal3, Everything v1.41.1032.x64 and v1.5.0.1404a.x64. Notably this issue is not present in EPT v0.91.1 with Everything v1.41.1032.x64.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Profile the startup of CmdPal using a diagnostic tool to identify where the delay occurs. Focus on the initialization of the Everything client connection and any caching or polling mechanisms. Check if the issue is related to network timeouts or resource contention with the Everything service.
