    Hi,

    Thank you for your interest in using Windows 10.

    Let's diagnose the issue by referring to the following suggestion and check if that helps you.

    First of all, I would suggest you to check if the
    Windows Search
    Service is running in Automatic mode under the list of Windows services. You can follow the steps to check and start the
    Windows Search again:

    • Press Windows+R keys to open Run. Type “servces.msc” without quotes and hit
      Enter.
    • From the list of services, locate the Windows Search Support Service
      and Windows Search Service.
    • Right click on the Windows Search Service
      and then click on Properties.
    • Check if the service is running. If not, start the service and change the
      Startup type to Automatic.
    • Follow the same steps to start the Bluetooth service
      and change the startup type to Automatic.
    You can also try the following suggestion.

    Run the Search and Indexing troubleshooter. Follow the steps mentioned below.

    The " storage service" and the "windows search index" stop randomly

    After latest update, indexing and its services are stopped

    Hi Sonu,

    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

    Windows 10 includes powerful system-wide search functionality that lets us quickly find files and data by Start screen search. Rebuilding the index from scratch can fix the index corruption issues.

    You may try the steps listed below and check if it works.

    Run the in-built troubleshooter:

    • Open ‘Control Panel’ and change view to ‘Small icons’.
    • Click on ‘Troubleshooting’ and choose ‘View All’ on the left pane.
    • Select ’Search and Indexing’ and allow the troubleshooter to run.

    Restart ‘Windows Search’ service:

    • Press Win + R keys together on the keyboard to open the Run dialog and type the following into the Run box: services.msc
    This will bring up the list of services running on the PC.

    • Scroll down and look for ‘Windows Search’ entry.
    • Restart the service and set it to ‘Automatic’ from ‘Properties’.

    Rebuild the search index:

    • Open ‘Control Panel’ and change view to ‘Small icons’.
    • Click on ‘Indexing Options’ and choose ‘Advanced options’.
    • Select ‘Rebuild’ next to ‘Delete and rebuild index’ under ‘Index settings’.
    • Click on ‘OK’ when the confirmation box pops up.

    Hope it helps,
