    Cannot Start Windows Search Service: Error 3 cannot find path


    Hello,

    Earlier today I tried to rebuild the windows search index, only to find out that I currently have no locations indexed. I also cannot modify to add any new locations. Windows search troubleshooter shows the following results:

    Cannot Start Windows Search Service: Error 3 cannot find path-2.png

    I went to services and tried to start the windows search service, only to be given an error message about the path specified not existing. This doesn't make any sense because I can literally see the windows search executable:

    Cannot Start Windows Search Service: Error 3 cannot find path-windows-search-service.png

    Does anyone know why this is happening?

    Any help is appreciated!
