  1. Search Indexing Failure Windows 11


    Hello:I have a relatively new machine with Windows 11. I have found that the indexing service never starts after I log in. The troubleshooter fails to resolve the problem. I have checked the properties of the Windows search service on my machine and ensured that the startup type is "Automatic Delayed Start." Restarting my machine does not appear to fix the problem. The consequence of this is that I cannot use folders, use the outlook app, or upload files to OneDrive.Can you please tell me how to resolve this issue?

    :)

    Windows 10 indexing / search

    Hi Erik,

    System conflict is one of the possible reasons why the index built will not function properly. We suggest running the Search and Indexing troubleshooter by following these steps to resolve your issue:

    • Open Control Panel.
    • In the search box, type troubleshooting.
    • Click on Troubleshooting.
    • Click on View all.
    • Select Search and Indexing and select the proper scenario that you are experiencing on indexing and click
      Next for the troubleshooting to begin.
    Update us with the outcome so we can provide you further assistance.
