    Search Indexing was Turned Off

    Hi,

    The Indexing Service in Windows Services may not be running, resulting to what you are experiencing on the computer. It will be better if you provide more information about the recent activities on the computer to understand why this happened. Kindly answer
    these questions:

    • Did this start after installing updates on your computer?
    • Did you make any changes on your settings prior to this issue?

    Let's see if we can restart the Indexing Service by performing the steps below:

    • Press the Windows key + R on your keyboard.
    • Type services.msc then press Enter.
    • Look for Indexing Service.
    • Right-click on the service and choose Restart.

    Let us know if the steps above resolve the issue. Feel free to post questions if you have any.

    Regards.

    How do I turn on Windows Indexing on 11

    Search Indexing was Turned Off

    When searching on Start Menu, it says Search Indexing was Turned Off. When I click on Turn On Indexing, I get Indexing is not running. There's no option to start indexing, and troubleshoot search and indexing doesn't turn it on.
