Windows 10: Why are the options to remove folders / HDDs from Indexer Grayed out?

I try to remove the Drive D from the indexer but this seems not possible.

OneDrive no longer in list of folders to index in "Indexing Options"

Ref: Windows 10 Pro Version 1803 (OS Build 17134.48)

Dear All,

After an Windows update today, OneDrive folder is no longer listed as a folder available for indexing in the "Indexing Options" control panel.

I have tried restarting, deleting the index, unlinking PC from OneDrive and relinking.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

By the way, why is the OneDrive Category locked when posting questions?!

 

Indexing options does not respond

Hi, ignore my post right above this. You don't need to post a screenshot.


First, make sure you tried this method:

Look what it says under Windows 10. Follow along that tutorial.
After completion, restart your computer and check Indexing Options



If that didn't work:

I found two other methods for you that you should try. They're a little advanced, yet the steps are very simple to follow since there is picture tutorials of it. But please be very careful and follow the steps exactly and follow along with the pictures!
Go here: Repairing Windows Search Indexer Problems

Press #12 Indexer Registry Fix.
Follow along with that tutorial EXACTLY with the pictures that help you follow along.
After restarting the computer, check Indexing Options



If that didn't work

Press #13 Delete Search Index Folder.
After restarting the computer, check Indexing Options
