Windows 10: File types tab in advanced indexing options not responding

Hi,
I'm using Windows 10, version 1909 (compilation: 18363.693) with Polish language interface.
When I try to open File types tab in advanced indexing options it doesn't respond, mouse pointer turns into spinning blue circle and nothing happens, the tab does not open.



After closing the window (using the close button) a message appears: COM Surrogate not responding.



After closing a message new one appears: The remote procedure call failed.



Finally after clicking OK button the main window of Indexing options closes.
I tried to use the sfc /scannow tool that showed no errors and creating new user profile without result.
I hope someone will help me.
Regards

:)

• Type indexing options, and then click Indexing Options.
• 
  Click Advanced.
  
• 
  In the Advanced Options dialog box, click the Index Settings tab

Indexing off and cannot get it back on

Hi,

Thank you for posting your response.

We appreciate the time and effort that you have invested in to fix the issue. I would suggest that you return the settings back to
Local System Account from This Account under
Log on tab and perform the steps below.

• Rebuild the Windows Search Index and check. Refer to these steps. This can be used if you are able to go through the
  Indexing Options in Control Panel.
• On the search bar type Indexing Options and click on it.
• Click the Advanced button at the bottom of the
  Indexing Options window. This displays a new window titled Advanced Options.
• Click the Index Settings tab if it isn’t selected already.
• Click the Rebuild button to delete and rebuild the file index.
• Click OK to confirm.

Hope this helps
