    Here's how you may run the Search and Indexing Troubleshooter:

    • Press the Windows key + X, and then click
      Control Panel
      .
    • Type Troubleshooting, and then click View all.
    • Click Search and Indexing.
    • Follow the steps provided by the troubleshooter.

    Tell us how it goes.

    Regards.

    Indexing options does not respond

    Hi, ignore my post right above this. You don't need to post a screenshot.


    First, make sure you tried this method:
    https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/...-fix-solutions
    Look what it says under Windows 10. Follow along that tutorial.
    After completion, restart your computer and check Indexing Options



    If that didn't work:

    I found two other methods for you that you should try. They're a little advanced, yet the steps are very simple to follow since there is picture tutorials of it. But please be very careful and follow the steps exactly and follow along with the pictures!
    Go here: Repairing Windows Search Indexer Problems


    There are 14 items listed under contents.

    Press #12 Indexer Registry Fix.
    Follow along with that tutorial EXACTLY with the pictures that help you follow along.
    After restarting the computer, check Indexing Options



    If that didn't work

    Press #13 Delete Search Index Folder.
    After restarting the computer, check Indexing Options

    index option greyed out

    OneDrive no longer in list of folders to index in "Indexing Options"

    Ref: Windows 10 Pro Version 1803 (OS Build 17134.48)

    Dear All,

    After an Windows update today, OneDrive folder is no longer listed as a folder available for indexing in the "Indexing Options" control panel.

    I have tried restarting, deleting the index, unlinking PC from OneDrive and relinking.

    Any suggestions?

    Thanks

    By the way, why is the OneDrive Category locked when posting questions?!
