    Mark Aldridge   Hi Mark,  I'm seeing the same issue occur every now and then. It's caused by the Windows Search service. If you restart this service the issue stops (you don't need to restart the host and you can restart the service with everyone else logged on).

     

    I've had to created a scheduled task to restart this service at logon.  Far from ideal though. I assume it's yet another bug in Win10 2004... 

     

    On top of a major bug in FSLogix (which breaks OneDrive Files on-Demand) I'm getting pretty fed up with Microsoft right now.

Dale Hayter  Thanks for the swift reply fella, do you have any hosts in production? I ask as I see it on the 2004 host, which are still in dev but also on the production 1909 hosts as well, I am just trying to work out when it was set, it is not something I have gone in and implicitly set, and there is no reference to that local GPO in any of the optimise/finalise scripts I run so wondering if it is turned on by default??

Adam.

The host that is not in production does not have any windows deferal settings configured in Domain Group Policy. Before they move into production WUfB policies are defined. I have just checked a pre-production and its local group policy no settings are configured. In your screenshot there is even a hold date configured so something historically must have set it. Maybe run rsop.msc on the server to see what GPO that is coming from if it is.
