Nice work, it is alway welcomed to have an Windows 10 LTSC/ Windows Server 2019 like exeperience, this script and others Microsoft/Citrix recommendations helped us alot to improve the performance of WVD.

Christiaan_Brinkhoffcan you explain what is going on with Wsearch service?

One of our main performance bottleneck is the Wsearch index performance and outlook in multi session environnement.

d Some people started to force back Windows Search per machine using multiple tweaks: https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/a9b5000d-e2a8-442b-9cbf-48e05136f732/support-for-server-2019-and-office-2019-search-roaming?forum=FSLogix

We are using th default settings Windows Search per users and we had many issues last weeks with the Outlook Build 12527.20880, the index got crazy on large Outlook profiles causing kernel loops. We had to rollback multiples servers to Build 11929.20838.

We are planning to upgrade our customers to Windows 2004 and Office Build 12527.20988 which seem to fix performances issues https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/officeupdates/semi-annual-enterprise-channel#version-2002-august-11

What are your recomendations, should we disable the service after the upgrade?
