My Windows 10 search settings keep reverting to an old configuration after I change settings and I cannot find the current location of the configs. I believe that windows is locating an old location (I changed locations recently) and reverting to those settings. Example: View...

Alright, I pinned Everything Search to the task bar and that works great. Same amount of clicks as the start menu search. Thanks again both for the advice. I still may add my HDDs to the indexer just to have that as an option. I'm guessing the performance impact is only on the initial index and...

Too bad Everything Search couldn't be placed as an open field on the task bar. Or a widget of some sort. Or allow windows to use their service in place of the crappy start menu search...

Holy Smokes! Everything Search is amazing. It indexed all 5 terabytes in seconds. And it basically just parses everything and gives you every result that matches. (I'm sure filters can improve relevance). Why does Windows take so very long to index, and still doesn't work very well? Even the...

So I disabled the search indexing on all drives and attempted to find a movie that I had just seen in search results 5 minutes ago, and it won't come up. So I guess I do need some indexing. Granted, I do have a number of old HDDs that I use for storage (~5+TB) so that may be the issue. I tried...

Oh, I had no idea. I thought the index was a dependency for search. I'll give it a shot and disable the indexing on all. Odd, when I disable on a drive it asks if I'd like to apply to the drive only, or all subfolders and files. Wouldn't this rule inherently apply to all subfolders? I'll have...

Why do you exclude SSDs from Indexing? Save on wear and tear? Isn't that much less of an issue than originally thought? And how do you search for things? Just dig in every time? I suppose I'm not as well organized as I'd like. I have movies and music all over the place and large collections at...

Anyone have suggestions on which folders to exclude from Windows Search? My computer is still huffing and puffing through my multitude of hard drives and SSDs and I figure there are probably a ton of system files that I'd rather never hear from again. I recently upgraded to the latest Windows 10...

Yes, that's what I'm thinking: the landscape is changing so fast these days. Must be Moore's Law at work. They say that eventually the price of a supercomputer will be pennies (but leave it to the marketers, manufacturers, and politicians to work out an OPEC-like pricing collusion to keep their...

I'm seeing a ton of M.2/NVMe drives at almost identical prices (10-15 cents/GB) with rated (and verified) speeds of around 600%. Most SATA SSDs are around 500MB/s, and these M.2s are at 2500-3500+ MB/s !!! That's insanely faster and for moving large files from drive to drive (as long as...

My wireless Xbox 360 controller (for windows) stopped working and while troubleshooting I "removed device" of the wireless adapter in device manager. Now I'm really screwed because I can't do any other kind of troubleshooting (update driver, wake pc, roll back driver, etc.) as it no longer...

I installed the Creator's Update. Yes, I know, stupid idea. Now I want to go back, as the latest patch broke Riva Tuner and now I keep getting a compatibility assistant dialogue popup every 5 seconds that has crippled my machine. My WindowsOld file is gone, so I can't do the standard revert...
