I've unchecked it multiple times, and after a while when I check back it has appeared on the list again as checked. I have no idea what it is, or if it's related to my problem.

But I can't seem to keep it not getting added to the indexing list automatically. These are local copies of files that exist on SMB shares like mapped network drives. By default, Windows indexes the CSC so that you can quickly find any network files that you've opened recently. The CSC index can become corrupt and put a full bork on indexing. I let the indexing complete and did a search.

Didn't find anything and Event log had these came up the very second I tried to find something:. The scan takes longer to complete if corruption is found during the scan of the image.

Note that the operation may appear stuck at times but this is no cause for concern as scanning should commence after a moment automatically. Rig: iK, 16gigs ddr4, gtx Details: The data is invalid.

The search doesn't work untill I do a manual rebuild of the index. System is on a nvme so I'm not indexing that nor the external ssd on G: drive. This thread is locked. You can follow the question or vote as helpful, but you cannot reply to this thread. I have the same question Report abuse.
