My windows indexing is not working.  My pictures, etc aren't where they are supposed to be.  When I tried to modify the index, the option is not there.  It just says Windows Indexing is not working.  It has my entire computer moving SLOWLY and hang up.  When I trying the troubleshooting tool, it's no help. See attached.  It tells me that the indexing isn't working (which I already know..ha).It also tells me to run as an administrator (which I am logged in as) but I click and allow it to run as administrator and it still won't fix itself.  Please help!!!

In the search box  (Alternatively, bring up a command window) type:

 

services.msc

 

hit Enter. That should bring up the Services Window.  Find the Windows Search service and double click on it.  Is the service Running.  If not is the Startup Type set to Automatic (Delayed Start) then change it and hit Apply.  Try to start the service.  Do you get an Error?  If so what does it say?

 

If you don't see Windows Search then you need to:

 

 

1. Open Control Panel > Programs and Features > Turn Windows Features on or off.
2. Select Turn Windows Features on or off
3. Check the box for Indexing Service and Windows Search then OK and reboot.

Okay, did both of these.  Got an error (see attached) when I tried to start the service.  Then I don't even see the Indexing/Search Option under features.  See attached.

In the search box or in a CMD prompt type:

 

eventvwr.msc 

 

This should open the Event Viewer.  Click on Windows Logs,  then right click on Applications and Clear Log. Clear.  Right click on System and Clear Log, Clear.

 

Open an elevated Command Window

 

http://www.eightforu...indows-8-a.html

Type with an Enter after each line:

sfc  /scannow

When it finishes

DISM  /Online  /Cleanup-Image  /RestoreHealth

Reboot

 

Go back into the services.msc and see if Windows Search is now started.

 

If not then get VEW.exe:

 

 

1. Please download the Event Viewer Tool by Vino Rosso

http://images.malwar...om/vino/VEW.exe

and save it to your Desktop:

2. Right-click VEW.exe and Run AS Administrator

3. Under 'Select log to query', select:

 

* System

4. Under 'Select type to list', select:

* Error

* Warning

 

 

Then use the 'Number of events' as follows:

 

 

1. Click the radio button for 'Number of events'

Type 20 in the 1 to 20 box

Then click the Run button.

Notepad will open with the output log.

 

 

Please post the Output log in your next reply then repeat but select Application.

 

 (Second time you run vew it will overwrite the first log so copy it to a reply or rename it first.)

After I did the reboot my computer is just sitting here saying "Getting windows ready do not turn off your computer". Almost an hour now. Is this normal after the reboot? way longer than normally takes.

[RKinner]

certainly should not take that long.  Think you are going to have to hold down the power button and try again.

Oh I forgot to attached these.  This is what it said when I did the other steps.

The dism command should take a while to run.  Did you wait for the prompt to return before rebooting?

 

Get the free version of Speccy:

 

http://www.filehippo...download_speccy (Look in the upper right for the Download

Latest Version button  - Do NOT press the large Start Download button on the upper left!)  Download, Save and Install it.  

 

Close all browsers and open progrms before running Speccy.  Run Speccy.  When it finishes (the little icon in the bottom left will stop moving), File, Save as Text File,  (to your desktop) note the name it gives. OK.  Open the file in notepad and delete the line that gives the serial number of your Operating System.  (It will be near the top about 10 lines down.)  Save the file and close notepad  Attach the file to your next post as it is usually too large for the forum (Click on More Reply Options then Choose file, select the file, Open, Attach this File) Uninstall Speccy.

I don't think I waited long enough on the dism.  Maybe why the computer was taking so long to reboot.  So, I ran it again until completed (see attached).  Then rebooted and checked services again and it still wasn't working and when I tried to start it got the attached message. I also reran the scan after this and the results are attached too. I am going to run the speccy now and will post those results shortly.  THANKS!!

Looks like DISM fixed the stuff SFC was complaining about.  Still not clear why Windows Search is not starting.  Speccy says your temps are a bit warm but not to the point where it would cause trouble.  Your hard drive looks pretty good.  Search is very sensitive to disk errors tho so you should probably run a disk check.

You might try the procedure on this page:

 

http://www.windowswa...in-windows-8-1/

 

Skip down to where it says:

 

Undo Changes To The Windows 8 Registry

 

Ignore any recommendations to use a registry cleaner.

Done these and the problem seems like it's back to before again.  It seemed some better after running the dism, etc even though the indexing wasn't working.  Now it's taking it forever to load when I reboot and is sloooooowwww again.  Still getting the error message when I try to start windows search.  The scan was fine.  Here's the screenshot of the results.
