    Windows 10 network folders indexing


    Hi there,

    I have been searching for a way to have my NAS drive indexed by Windows 10. Currently all my standard libraries point to the NAS.

    I found a previous thread which suggests to go under Indexing Options and to add the location: the network location does not show up. If I select "Advanced" and then NEW, windows tells me that my mapped drive cannot be added.

    It'a a bit annoying as 99% of my files are on that drive! Does anybody know a way to enable that?
    Thanks!

    :)

    Windows 10 Tweaks

    Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

    Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

    • Open a new Explorer window.
    • Click View in the ribbon.
    • Click Options.
    • Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
    • Click OK

    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 10 network folders indexing

    Windows 10 not displaying search results for indexed shortcuts in a folder.

    Thanks Deepika,

    I had tried running this troubleshooter before, but I've just run it again with "Files don't appear in search results" and "My problem isn't listed above" ticked, and it comes up with "Issue not present" against all potential issues, and "Troubleshooting
    couldn't identify the problem", even after troubleshooting as an administrator.

    I'd be glad of any other suggestions please!
