My search index on windows 10 does not work currently.
I have tried to go into the indexing settings but every time i go into indexing options it gets stuck on "Waiting to receive indexing status" Screenshot of Indexing Options if i click on Advanced, the program freezes and will not go away till i restart.
I have tried erasing the index from different methods and tried restarting the service but to no solution.
My searches work from the start menu but if i try from windows explorer it freezes and won't do anything.
