Windows 10: Rebuild Indexing is Very Slow AFter Initially Being Relatively Fast.

Rebuilding Indexing is very slow, I noticed after the last Windows update---2004. The last time, it Indexed around 300,000 relatively fast, I believe it took around one day but then the following day, it only Indexed a little over 1,000! I use the computer at times and at times just let it run without use. The usage was same as the first day when it Indexed approximately 300,000. Indexing can be a very necessary operation and apparently affects Outlook also so I cannot find Contacts or items in my Notes.


How can this issue be resolved?

Indexing rebuild is very slow

Hello there

I am running Window 10 on a fast machine. all was running Ok till I started missing many search results, so I followed many recommendations on this community and made an index rebuild. BIG MISTAKE.

The index rebuild is very slow, I kept the computer running for 2 days and I have only 7000 item indexed, I rely a lot on searches especially in Outlook and I am now stuck and not sure what to do. I tried to rebuild few times after rebooting and still having
the same problem.

I tried to change the locations to be indexed to reduce the amount to be indexed, but no luck. I am getting as well the message "indexing speed have been reduced due to user activity" while there is nothing running on my machine other than the indexing.

Does anybody there having similar problem? I appreciate your advise.
