Windows 10: exclude subfolder search like in Windows 7 ?

in windows 7 there was a search option to exclude searching the subfolders too. In windows 10 i cant see any. Now every time i want to search for a file, my computer searches the whole drive for that file and shows all results which have that name. I only want to see the file in that particular folder.... not in its subfolders and certainly not in the entire drive.

[please note that i have thousands of folders and each folder has at least 1000 files. So it takes a long time to search] please help me. This search setting is driving me mad and i am regretting switching to win 10 from 7. My decade old win 7 laptop gave better search results than this.

Exclude subfolder

This folder is being watched:

C:\Users\Shane\Music

I would like to exclude this subfolder:

C:\Users\Shane\Music\_downloads

Files in this subfolder are usually tagged incorrectly, and I like to fix them before moving them into the sorted folders.

Is it possible to exclude a subfolder?

Thanks,

Shane.

Hi,

To isolate your concern, we would like to ask the following:

• What do you mean by excluding sub-folder from the music collection?

We look forward to your response.
