I wonder if this fixes search indexer.
For TWENTY years, across a variety of devices, including the last three Microsoft surface devices, my machine will occasionally become uncontrollable, and after waiting one minute for task manager to eventually appear, it will show search indexer running.
I know other people do not have this issue, but I suspect the cause is me having lots of very small files on certain drives.
- esperent 3y agoYou should turn off the search indexer for the folders with lots of small files. Or just disable it entirely and use Everything search instead.
- nailer 3y agoYep. Every year or so I re-enable it to see if recent Windows updates have fixed it. They never have.
- Saris 3y agoIt is pretty crazy that it's still the same as always. Personally I set the windows indexer to only index the start menu, and use Everything for all my other searches since it's instant.
