Windows 10: Windows Search service won't start

The Windows Search service on my Windows 10 PC won't start. When I try to start it in the Services app, I receive the following error message:




In the Properties dialogue box for the service, it says it's looking for what I assume is the file referred to in that error message in the following file path:


C:\WINDOWS\system32\SearchIndexer.exe


I've looked in that directory and that file is there. I've run the SFC scan in Command Prompt to see if any system files are corrupted but it found no errors.


Please help if you can.
