twinbytes Posted July 30, 2017 Share Posted July 30, 2017 Initially the problem was Outlook wouldn't index files, there were a few files indexed in the Indexing Options, so we rebuilt the index and now it's at 0 items indexed and won't index anything on the computer. It's a Windows 7 computer. I've tried several things to no avail! I've checked many forums and did my own commons sense troubleshooting to find no solution still. Here's what I've tried so far. Rebuilding index Select new indexing location (won't seem to accept new location) sfc /scannow Restarting windows search service. Reset the registry key "SetupCompletedSuccessfully" to 0. Deleted the file C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Search\Data\Applications\Windows\Windows.edb Restarting the service and computer after each attempt. As a last resort Tweaking.com ran through all steps and still unresolved. A fresh install of Windows is not a viable option and the lazy way out which we don't want to do. Are there any suggestions I haven't tried here someone knows of? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vinifera Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 tried in control panel advanced settings of it ? they offer manual/new indexing locations, maybe it needs a "push" to start Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any other ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
