Windows Search Service High CPU usage

Hi there!

 

Edition Windows 10 Pro
Version Dev
Installed on ‎4/‎30/‎2021
OS build 21370.1
Experience Windows 10 Feature Experience Pack 321.9601.0.3

 

 

Last three flights i have experienced Win Search problem - high CPU usage. When working at notebook, all seems ok (snapshot above - while working). As soon as i afk (notebook is idle), abovementioned service starts its work, notebook's fans produce a lot of noise. When i resumes work - notebook became laggish, irresponsible for 1-1.5 minutes. Also indexing algorithms work well while notebook works on battery.

 

Win search settings:

 

If Windows Search Service stopped and disabled - everything runs smoothly, no any fan noise, no any lags (nor on plug or battery)

 

 

Win Search disabled.

 

Best regards.

Joshua

    Have you tried letting it to its thing for few hours and see if it finally finishes and the CPU usage goes down?
