    SearchProtocolHost.exe


    I have Microsoft Windows 10 Pro, version 21H1, build 19043.1288. I received a warning that SearchProtocolHost.exe was blocked from accessing a protected folder: %userprofile%\Documents\Outlook Files\". Googling it, I learned that it should be in Windows\System32 and the article gave a number of sizes for this file. When I looked at mine, it had a size of 419,318 bytes and a size on disk of 258,048 bytes. That didn't match any of the sizes in the article I read. Should I be concerned?

    :)
