Windows 10: W10 Search Indexing turned off after installing KB5005565

I noticed in Windows 10 Pro x64 19043.1237 that after KB5005565 installed that Windows 10 shows that search indexing was turned off. This shows when click on the Start button and type in what I am looking to find. The solution that I found is to click Start, type in search index, and click on Indexing Options. In the Indexing Options window click Advanced and Rebuild to rebuild the indexing.I found this same problem on several Windows 10 Pro x64 19043.1237 systems.
