    How do You Rebuild Search Catalogue after latest Win 10 Update?


    Since the latest Win 10 Update my searches in MS Outlook have been failing.

    A message indicates the the items are not indexed. Help in Outlook (and what I can find on the web) tells me to "Open the Control Panel" as the first step to reset the Search Catalogue. But the Control Panel has now gone and I can't find the option under the Settings. Searching for Indexing from Settings Home gives "No results for Indexing"

    Please can someone help.

    MS Outlook version: Outlook 2010 (14.0.7182.5000) SP2 MSO (14.0.7182.5000)

    Win 10 - Latest Update: Windows 10 Home, Version 1703; OS Build 16063.483

    This update has caused me other headaches - Needed to reinstall my printer S/W just to print one page yesterday. How many other issues will I have over the coming weeks? Only time will tell.

    Thanks in advance.

    Thanks for your help


    I assumed as the Control Panel had gone from the menu then it had really gone. Hence I was looking for "Indexing Options"

    Why have they hidden it!!!

    Now I have found the Indexing Options, the help works.

    Solved.

    Another way if search doesn't work and you can't search for control panel is to use run box. Type and R to open it.

    control <OK> will open control panel.

    control srchadmin.dll <OK> will open indexing options box directly.

    Indexing options should be there in search. It probably isn't showing as index needs rebuilding which is a bit of a catch 22 situation.

    Most likely if you rebuild index it will reappear...
