    Hello,

    Most of the users are facing issue with indexing


    I tried troubleshooting and i get this error.


    Incorrect permissions on Windows Search directories f988542d-80f0-4d37-9c9d-9fe2a88ab33a?upload=true.jpg

    I tried to rebuild index, repaired office package, checked the permissions on the windows search folders,




    Disabled and re-enabled the feature

    dism /Online /Disable-Feature /FeatureName:"SearchEngine-Client-Package"

    dism /Online /Enable-Feature /FeatureName:"SearchEngine-Client-Package"



    Nothing seems to be working.

  2. Incorrect permissions on Windows Search directories

    Having a similar problem after installing the 1709 update (Outlook 2016 complains that search cannot be completed). I've tried the sfc solution suggested below and also rebuilt the index.

    Oddly the permissions on my Windows search data directory appear to be the same as on another machine where search works correctly.

  3. Incorrect permissions on Windows Search directories

    Update: Running a repair of my Office 2016 installation appears to have fixed the problem, at least for Outlook.

    Incorrect permissions on Windows Search directories

    Incorrect Permissions on Windows Search directories - widespread problem, no solution?

    System

    Windows 10, upgraded from Windows 8.1 Pro

    Problem

    SearchIndexer at random times takes one of the CPU cores to max power, causing the cooling fan to go at full speed.

    Question

    I read more than 10 discussion on this and other forums describing similar problems with Windows Search directory permissions.

    None did contain a clear solution.

    Please provide a clear and genuine solution procedure.

    Additional Information

    - Only the 'StartUp' folder is being indexed

    - Search and Indexing Troubleshoot report gives the following message:

    Incorrect permissions on Windows Search directories

    Not fixed

    When permissions on the Windows Search data directories are set incorrectly, the search service might not be able to access or update the computer's search index. This can result in slow searches or incomplete search results.
