Welcome to the forum *Smile

I suggest you try 3rd party search software like Everything Search Engine by VoidTools which is totally free (donations accepted) Fast and efficient, I have been using it for years and have never had a problem
Everything Search has a portable version so you can test it without installing it. I always use the portable version

When you first launch Everything it will create the database (Index) which should only take a few seconds, this database will be updated whenever you launch Everything
There are other options like Run in background and Start with Windows but Everything is very fast to load and update the database so unless you are constantly searching there is no real need for these to be enabled.
