WIN10 search not returning results from indexed drive

Greetings

Windows 10 taskbar (Cortana) search is not returning results from an indexed drive. Both the C and D drives are indexed (specific Locations) and task bar search returns results from everywhere but the D drive. However, if I search via file manager search
returns all the results.

I have tried

• rebuilding the index
• stating and stopping the service
• running the troubleshooter (find a permissions problem)

The machine is fully patched with the latest release.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

THX Paul
