Windows 10: Search Indexing constantly turning off

Hi there,I am working IT and am running into an issue with an end user who's search indexing keeps turning off. The temporary fix is to re-index the drive but that lasts a month at most. We have tried all the trouble shooters, forcing services to run, multiple indexing options, and replacing the registry file for Windows Search. We moved him to a new, clean installation machine the other day only for the problem to come back on that one as well. We only moved his personal files over, documents, downloads etc.. We use JumpCloud as our GPO for policies and local account assignment for the machin

Search Indexing was Turned Off

When searching on Start Menu, it says Search Indexing was Turned Off. When I click on Turn On Indexing, I get Indexing is not running. There's no option to start indexing, and troubleshoot search and indexing doesn't turn it on.





Please let me know what steps I can take to troubleshoot and resolve, and I will follow steps and post results of steps.
