    "Windows search indexing" taking up large amounts of cpu


    Yesterday I noticed my computer has been a bit loud recently and I've been wondering why that is and I found out in task manager that "Windows search indexing" is taking up more CPU than most games I play. I've done dism restorehealth, sfc /scannow and I'm currently rebuilding the index. What should I do?

    :)

    Hi Erik,

    System conflict is one of the possible reasons why the index built will not function properly. We suggest running the Search and Indexing troubleshooter by following these steps to resolve your issue:

    • Open Control Panel.
    • In the search box, type troubleshooting.
    • Click on Troubleshooting.
    • Click on View all.
    • Select Search and Indexing and select the proper scenario that you are experiencing on indexing and click
      Next for the troubleshooting to begin.
    Update us with the outcome so we can provide you further assistance.
