Windows Search / Indexing service won't start - Super User
trying this now
And afterwards, maybe try system refresh, keep personal files?
that did not work, troubleshooter cannot start the service.
ran sfc, no problems
came across this
https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/...es-or-programs
My registry IS missing those entries
however
the folder TxR claims to be empty, i have show hidden files checked. But the folder under properties says there is
16mb of files in there. I cant rename so maybe boot linux to see.
The 'fix' is delete files in TxR.
I tried something.
I pulled the drive and put it into a win7 PC, wanted to see if the folder TxR was empty or not.
On boot up, win7 warned the disk needed a file check, took about 30 minutes finding many many index errors and deleted some files too.
So I put drive back into it's PC and boot, and Wsearch is now running.
Since it is running now, do I need to rebuild the index?
I have no idea why. Why did win10 not warn about it's own disk?
