Windows Search Service Terminated
Basic problem is slow start-up and very slow opening files and programs. Here is history of the computer...
- Original OS was Windows 7
- Windows 7 upgraded to Windows 10, all worked OK
- Windows 10 updated with Anniversary Update, problem began
I first looked in the System Log Event Viewer and found dozens of red errors titled as "The Windows Search Service terminated with the following service-specific error: %%2388525884" The error test and the error code is the same for dozens of times, and seems to grow with more use of the computer. Here is what I have tried so far...
- Ran SFC SCANNOW, no help
- Ran CHKDSK, no help
- Tried a Repair of Windows 10, would not repair, except for clean install
Googled the error and found nothing of help
I am at a loss as to what to try next, and really don't want to have to do a clean install, so any advice is appreciated.
