Windows 10: Windows 11 Indexing onedrive/Sharepoint

I have just migrated from Windows 10 to 11 and enjoying the subtle tweaks and enhancements.The main issue I am experiencing is associated with the windows indexing, on the windows 10 we had set the index to the onedrive/sharepoint folder under modify/Index locations however on the Window 11 computer the onedirve folder is not shown as a location to index, as such it does not appear to be indexing the files.All onedrive files are set to download all files and are fully synced. I have seen a thread where it states that onedrive is classed as on app and this is why the indexing will not look at

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?!

 

How can I index Onedrive

This question was asked with regard to Windows 10 here, but in Windows 11 Onedrive is excluded from my indexing locations. Is there a workaround for this?

 

Windows 10 - OneDrive

Right click on the app and one of the properties has an option to not automatically start it. Uncheck, restart the computer, and it should stop. If you want to go another step further, find the OneDrive app in the start menu, right click on it and uninstall.

If that is still insufficient, there is a batch uninstaller for OneDrive available online. I can copy the code here if you need it.
