Windows 10: Can't search in newly created folders in cloned disk

For some reason when i created a folder i can't search at all in it, i can search in the cloned folders but not in the ones that i create. I also noticed that any folder that i can't search in it i just can move it to the old HDD drive and then i can search the files in it properly. I checked in security and apparently all the cloned folders that i can search in and also the folders of the old HDD have the SID of the old HDD i think. Probably is a problem of the clonation itself but i can't seem to fix it. I already tried rebuilding the index

Quick Access not searching Pictures folder

Summary, that last suggestion didn't work.

• I moved the pictures to another folder temporarily.

• Then I tried to remove the Pictures folder with option one at Add or Remove Folders from This PC in Windows 10 | Windows 10 Tutorials. Even after rebooting, the Pictures folder remained.
• So I tried using option two. Same thing: reboot >> Pictures folder still there.

• Since there were no troubleshooting steps for this scenario, just for the heck of it, I ran through the restore steps. Copied some pictures into the Pictures folder, ran a Quick Access search and initial problem remains: Searching all of QA doesn't find any files in Pictures folder, running search on just the Pictures folder does. I want to run a global search and find matching files in any/all of the Documents, Music, Videos, and Pictures folders.

That article dates from 2015 and I'm guessing is out of date. I hope it didn't create potential future problems in my registry.

Bottom line: I'm still looking for a fix.

 

Windows 10 Search Bar Crashing

Once you create a new account and you may able to manage the Start menu and the Search function, including Cortana, meaning your previous user profile had been identified as corrupted. As a workaround, we suggest that you transfer all your important files
to the newly created account. To do this, follow the steps below:

• Log in using the newly created account in Windows.
• Press Windows + E to open File Explorer.
• Navigate to this folder C:\Users.
• Check for your previous user account or username.
• Double-click your previous user account or username and you can see many folders.
• Desktop, Downloads, and Documents are the most common folders wherein your files are saved.

If you have successfully transferred all the important files to newly created account, you may delete the corrupted one.
