Windows 10: One Drive Search not all files are shown

Hello,I am using one drive since years on windows 10, withing the last years mainly using mobile Android app.Files should be indexed for quick searching them,but this isn't working the whole time properly.I am not talking about new uploaded or moved files, for example I tried to locate my smartphone videos with .mp4 in search, because they are split in many big folders and I wanted to move them to one location...even many very old files aren't shown in search, neither on android, nor using windows or the mobile chrome browser.Same with search for names. I created a chess piece set for an mobil

2nd Drive Files not Showing in Quick search

Hi all,

Background: I'm running Windows 10, anniversary update; with two physical drives, each also shown as a logical volume (C and D).

Issue: When searching from the Start menu, files on my C drive show up, however the ones on D do not.

Troubleshooting I have done so far:

• Verify that the 2nd Drive (D) has indexing enabled
• Verify that the folders on the drive also have indexing enabled
• Rebuild index
• The files DO appear when searching the 2nd drive via Windows Explorer, but NOT through the start search

Is this a known issue, and what steps can I take to resolve this?

 

Stored files in Hard Drive

You can use Windows search. Just search for *.* on a desired drive. When list is done just arrange them by size LOL.

You can do it via command line as well and make an output text file showing files and their sizes (but without arrangement)
