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?!

 

Windows 11 Upgrade Indexing Issues

Hi Greg,

Still no change in my indexing problems

After a rebuild, Windows 11 Indexing is happening but real slow. Outlook indexing doesn't seem to be moving at all.

I was wondering, under Indexing options I have the whole of my data disk included as well as Outlook as a seperate item.

All of my outlook folders are on my data disk.

It got me wondering how Indexing works.

If I have my data disk included, does this also do the Outlook files that are on the data disk?

Do I actually need Outlook in the list if the Outlook files are on the data disk?

Should I remove the Data Disk outlook folders from the Indexing Options list?

I see that Indexing is a huge problem for a lot of people.

Cheers

Paul

 

Windows 11 not indexing Word documents--but is indexing other file types

I've got the same problem. Tried the same solutions SerenePDX suggested, as well as some others. No joy.

But Windows 11 also isn't indexing the contents of any of my files. It will index the names of my .pdf files, that's it. Sigh.

I suppose there is a phone number for Windows support. I believe I called them at one time. But it is hard to find in my notes without indexing...

BTW, Indexing status shows 750070 files indexed and none pending. I don't know what it thinks it is indexing, but it isn't useful.
