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:

Win Search disabled.

 

Best regards.

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