Thanks so much for both those replies. I will retain them.
After more MS updates and restarts, the Everything app now functions well and I had done nothing specifically to repair it. That is, even the database survived, as far as I noticed; I didn't notice the expected delay while it rebuilds the database.
Windows Update process reinstalled overnight the update that I had removed, and even added one more. I experienced various troubles with Windows Explorer (the file finder interface and the whole desktop experience), and with major, erratic delays. After enough reboots, things have mostly settled out.
My systems seems stable now once it is booted, but booting stalls unless I have disconnected all three USB hubs from the PC before booting. I can reconnect them later and then functions seem otherwise normal. I speculate that this month's updates introduced or provoked a driver problem. Disconnecting and reconnecting serves as a manual workaround, but something must be wrong.
Still, the Everything app works now. Thanks for your advice, and for the app.
