    Windows Search Service Terminated


    Basic problem is slow start-up and very slow opening files and programs. Here is history of the computer...
    1. Original OS was Windows 7
    2. Windows 7 upgraded to Windows 10, all worked OK
    3. 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...
    1. Ran SFC SCANNOW, no help
    2. Ran CHKDSK, no help
    3. 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.

    You're only giving us a small piece of the event log error. Adding things like the Event ID and any description of what the error is would be helpful.

    I haven't been getting that particular error. Instead I'm getting these every so often (if I leave the Windows Search Service on):

    Event 3104:
    Enumerating user sessions to generate filter pools failed.Details:
    (HRESULT : 0x80040210) (0x80040210)

    It's annoying enough that I've just disabled the Windows Search service for now until they fix it. I know it's not only me, a lot of others are reporting that error since the Anniversary update.

    To be honest, Windows search is one of the first service I disable after every Windows Install and use a third party search engine instead.
    Having said that, since you upgraded from 7 -> 10 - > 10 AU. The Windows Search database might be corrupted. Look under: C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Search\Data\Applications\Windows. The database file is Windows.edb. With Windows Search service disabled, delete this file, re-enable Windows Search service and let Windows rebuild the database.

    Qwinn.....Sorry if I wasn't giving enough info...thought the error code would be sufficient. the event ID is 10016 which appears to be a common one and not much help defining my situation. I will look for more info. Tha nks for the reply.

    Topgundcp....thanks so much for the suggestion...I will give it a try as soon as I can (it's another PC) and report back.

    10016 is a permissions error that is actually quite fixable. Can you post the entire event log error when you get back to that PC?

    topgundcp....thank you so much! This appears to have fixed my Windows Search error, and now my folders also open very quickly again. wow! Such an easy fix after hours of searching....sure seems MS would be on to this. Thanks again!

    You got that right. This error is a headache for a lot of people and no one has a solution, just work arounds.
