Windows 10: How do I include App Data in the Included Locations in Indexing Windows 11?

No matter what I try - removing AppData from the Excluded folders time after time, this keeps on being excluded. I am now rebuilding Indexing however the AppData has reappeared in Excluded once more. Is this some sort of default that can be overridden? Thanks.

Indexing included locations keep disappearing

I don't know how to find such a list for you- but Option 3 here includes resetting the search index.
Rebuild Search Index in Windows 10


Is that perhaps what you meant by 'rebuilding the index' - which is a different thing- that means deleting the search index and starting search with nothing indexed, but using the indexed locations without changing them.


So question as asked above remains outstanding.

 

Windows 11 Upgrade Indexing Issues

Hi Greg,

Still no change in my indexing problems

After a rebuild, Windows 11 Indexing is happening but real slow. Outlook indexing doesn't seem to be moving at all.

I was wondering, under Indexing options I have the whole of my data disk included as well as Outlook as a seperate item.

All of my outlook folders are on my data disk.

It got me wondering how Indexing works.

If I have my data disk included, does this also do the Outlook files that are on the data disk?

Do I actually need Outlook in the list if the Outlook files are on the data disk?

Should I remove the Data Disk outlook folders from the Indexing Options list?

I see that Indexing is a huge problem for a lot of people.

Cheers

Paul
