Bug report • occasional 'Not Responding' GUI on desktop only

Hi,

I'm running Everything 1.5.0.1396a (x64) on Windows 10, and often (~50% of the time - so between 2 and 50? times a day), when returning to my Desktop, there's a generic (Windows) "Everything has stopped responding" dialog - which I can use to force terminate, or 'Wait' for the program to respond.

I usually just ignore it, or sometimes click 'Wait' - I've never found Everything to not be responding at any stage, so I can't notice any actual issue beyond a mild annoyance.

I run the same version of Everything (and Win10) on two separate PCs here and there is no issue, and I believe I always use the same settings. The only difference I can think of on the problematic PC is that I've added my Google Drive under FAT indexing (though I haven't used Google Drive in months - in fact I forgot I even added it to Everything...)

Just wondering the best way to debug this? (It's particularly annoying because I can't ever re-create it when I try to; but it almost always happens otherwise)

Thanks
