Hi,

Recently I've had to log out and restart my machine every day or so because it becomes so sluggish. Every time I do, I find this process takes a long time to stop:

I suspect it could be related to my slowdown problem but I have no idea what it is or what it does.

Does anyone know?

Thanks,

Hi L,

I am Dave, I will help you with this.

windows_edb_devicenotify is related to the Windows 10 Indexing utility.

That may be in a loop, it can be a bit buggy sometimes, the best option is to delete the index and then let Windows recreate it.

Click your Stat Button, then just type index and from the resulting list, open Indexing Options

On the resulting utility, click the Advanced Button, and on the next dialog, click the 'Rebuild' button and click the 'Okay' button.

Also, back on the first Index dialog, click Modify, there you can choose what folders are indexed on your PC, to keep the index small and efficient, only have folders of your personal files in the Index, remove other folders like system folders that do not need to be indexed.
