  1. No windows Search service


    I am running Windows 10 64-bit on an Dell Optiplex computer


    In File Explorer, every time I do a search, I get the error message: "Your searches might be slow because the index is not running. Click to turn on the Index". When I click it, nothing happens and I continue to get the same message.


    I twice got the message:

    Windows could not start the Windows Search service on Local Computer
    Error 21: The device is not ready


    Then I Rebooted and installed Windows updates and rebooted a second time


    Now I get the message:

    The Windows Search service on Local Computer started and then stopped. Some services stop automatically if they are not in use by other services or programs

    How can I get the index turned on?



    Here are the properties of the Windows Search service:

    General Tab

    Statup type: Automatic (Delayed Start)

    Sevice status: Stopped

    Start Parameters: (blank)


    :Log On tab

    (radio button not selected) - Local System account

    Recovery tab

  2. Help with the Windows Search Service failed

    Hi,

    Having some damaged system components is one of the possible causes why the services in the system are failing. For us to provide an accurate solution, we would need you to answer the following questions:

    • Which build, version and edition of Windows is installed on your computer?
    • What changes have you made to your computer before this issue occurred?
    • What troubleshooting steps have you done so far?

    In the meantime, we suggest refreshing the Windows Search service. To do so, follow these steps:

    • Press the Windows key + R to pull-up the Run box.
    • In the Run box, type services.msc and then hit the Enter key.
    • In the Services window, look for Windows Search, right-click on it and then choose Stop.
    • Restart your computer.
    • Pull-up the Services window again.
    • Look for Windows Search, right-click on it and then choose Start.

    We are looking forward to your response.

    Hi,

    Thank you for your interest in using Windows 10.

    Let's diagnose the issue by referring to the following suggestion and check if that helps you.

    First of all, I would suggest you to check if the
    Windows Search
    Service is running in Automatic mode under the list of Windows services. You can follow the steps to check and start the
    Windows Search again:

    • Press Windows+R keys to open Run. Type “servces.msc” without quotes and hit
      Enter.
    • From the list of services, locate the Windows Search Support Service
      and Windows Search Service.
    • Right click on the Windows Search Service
      and then click on Properties.
    • Check if the service is running. If not, start the service and change the
      Startup type to Automatic.
    • Follow the same steps to start the Bluetooth service
      and change the startup type to Automatic.
    You can also try the following suggestion.

    Run the Search and Indexing troubleshooter. Follow the steps mentioned below.

    • Press “Windows key + W”.
    • Type “Troubleshooting” without quotes in the Search box and hit enter.
