Windows 10: Strange Search Indexer Issue

I've never encountered this bug before.
So a few days ago, my Search Indexer decided to go strange on me. I wasn't able to find files on different drives that are connected to the computer.

I did all 3 options at: Rebuild Search Index in Windows 10 Windows 10 Tutorials

So check this out (refer to the image below for the following):
1) In the top section, if I uncheck the csc folder, nothing happens in the bottom section
2) When I uncheck the red "My Personal Disk Drive", the blue "My Public Disk Drive" disappears from the bottom section. (What?) So when I re-check the red drive again, the blue drive shows up on the bottom again. (Hence: Strange)
3) When I uncheck the blue "My Public Disk Drive", then the blue "My Public Disk Drive" disappears from the bottom section. (Which is correct ✅)
4) When I uncheck the green "The Local Solid State Drive", then the green "The Local Solid State Drive" disappears from the bottom section. (Which is also correct ✅)

So why isn't the Search Indexer working correctly with the red personal disk drive?

Thank you.

 

Search Indexing Issue

I have two machines running a clean install of Windows 10. My Surface Pro doesn't seem to have any search indexing or search issues at the moment. On the other hand, my desktop does. I noticed that after installing Office and restarting, I wouldn't get
search results for "Word", "Excel", "Outlook", etc like I do on my Surface Pro. I decided to rebuild my search index, but it didn't help. I tried rebooting and rebuilding it again with no luck. I also tried running the indexing troubleshooter and it didn't
find any issues. Right now it says indexing is complete but when I search for something, it won't show any app results and it says "We're getting search ready..." with a spinning refresh icon. The apps show up in the "all apps" tab of the start menu, but
I want to be able to search for them like in Windows 8.1. Windows settings seem to show up, but not Windows apps either like the defragmenter or disk cleanup. The Windows Search service is running and set to startup automatically. Any suggestions?

Here are some warnings I see in Event Viewer regarding Search:

Crawl could not be completed on content source <winrt://{S-1-5-21-2226465170-1080252126-4205760815-1001}/>.

Context: Windows Application, SystemIndex Catalog

Details:

The parameter is incorrect. (HRESULT : 0x80070057) (0x80070057)

The Windows Search Service is starting up and attempting to remove the old search index {Reason: User Requested}.
