Alldup not scanning files

[Reverend Jim]

This worked fine before I re-installed Windows 11 Home 25H2 from scratch. I have 11000+ jpg files in "D:\My Pictures". When I run the scan it completes in around one second. There are no image files in the root My Pictures folder. Here is the last log file

I have to wonder about the lines

2025-10-26 13:42:06 - 1.folder filter: c:\windows
2025-10-26 13:42:06 - 2.folder filter: c:\program files (x86)
2025-10-26 13:42:06 - 3.folder filter: c:\program files
2025-10-26 13:42:06 - Determine file count of all source folders...
2025-10-26 13:42:06 - File count: 5

as I did not include those three folders. As well, the lines

2025-10-26 13:42:06 - Scan: D:\My Pictures
2025-10-26 13:42:06 - Files filtered: 5
2025-10-26 13:42:06 - Folders filtered: 103
2025-10-26 13:42:06 - Scanned files: 5
2025-10-26 13:42:06 - 1 folders and 5 files were searched but no duplicates found.

since I have 11000+ files in 137 subfolders.

Please check whether scanning subfolders is disabled for the "D:\My Pictures" folder in the source folder list.

I found the problem. The folder filter option was set to "Inclusive" rather than "Exclusive" so only the folders in the list were being scanned. One bit-flip and it's now working.
