Hello Shawn,

Thanks for your support. We have already tried this step to disable this option for running indexing on Battery power. The solution will work.

But the issue is when we shutdown the PC, The indexing will restarts from the beginning. Not the recent file be indexed almost 8 Lakh+ files will be re-indexed. While in 3-4 hours the indexing will be paused automatically too.

By the way, thanks for a new solution & Knowledge. It means a lot to me....

Indexing is pausing Automatically

i managed to solve this issue (indexing is paused automatically) by doing the following steps:-

1. check if you have this "weird" windows update file "Update for Microsoft Windows (KB5004567)" installed in your device

2. If yes, remove it

3. Reboot device

I find it weird because i could not find any information regarding this update & the purpose of the update & funny part is I also couldn't find it in the microsoft update catalog
