having Issues getting corrupted files replaced.

The search is still not running. I am happy to have deleted those files and tried to get it to run but I had the same results when I did it. The same reapair information from Microsoft said to edit a file in the registry but I looked at it in a registry editor and the file did not need editing.
 
I asked you to start Windows in safe mode before running the latest fix. The log shows Windows was running in Normal mode.
Please redo the instructions in message #139 as instructed.
 
I ran the computer in safemode with an internet connection. Here are the results. Let me know if I need to run it in safemode with no internet connection.

Another thought Do you think that it is not indexing because the location of the indexing is not specified in the registry or the software? I read this and then looked at the registry. I did not change anything in the registry. It applies specifically to windows 10 but lets face it windows 10 is basically a big repair patch installed in windows 8.1.

Hi John,





Aside from the method you performed, you can also change it through the Registry Editor. Before performing this procedure, we recommend you to create a back up of your registry by following the steps on this link.



Simply follow these steps on how to change Search Index Location via Registry Editor:



  1. Press Windows
    Image
    + R    , type "regedit" on the dialog box, then click OK.
  2. Click Yes if prompted by UAC.
  3. Navigate to this location: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows Search
  4. On the right pane, choose Windows Search.
  5. Double-click DataDirectory.
  6. Type the full path of the location you want to store the index at, add \Search\Data\ to the end of this path, and click OK.
  7. Stop and start the Windows Search service to apply changes.


Should you need further assistance, let us know.

Yes. The weird thing is that the path is not shown at the search properties but is set correctly in the registry.
The steps you give to change the registry setting is therefore not needed.

  4. The tool will now process fixlist.txt.
  5. If for some reason the tool needs a restart, please make sure you let the system restart normally. After that let the tool complete its run.
  6. When finished, a log called Fixlog.txt will appear in the same directory the tool is run from.
  7. Post the logfile Fixlog.txt as attachment in your next reply.

There was a Windows update in process when I ran frst64 a few minutes ago. It may have conflicted. I rebooted and ran it again. Here are the results.

Indexing in control panel says indexing is not running. The boxes that allow me to select the areas being indexed are still greyed out. :(
 
The Microsoft information talks about Windows search in the right pane and I do not see that in my registry as noted. It might be missing their point but I definitely do not see it. I attached the offending registry branch as a .reg file and edited the 3 letter extension after I was not allowed to upload it.

  1. Press Windows
    Image
    + R    , type "regedit" on the dialog box, then click OK.
  2. Click Yes if prompted by UAC.
  3. Navigate to this location: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows Search
  4. On the right pane, choose Windows Search.

I know that I have made this statement before but I find it perplexing that windows index runs for a couple of minutes on bootup and then stops. I could see how this could be considered shutting it down because it is not needed but it never restarts when it is needed.

I think that this is possibly part of the issue or is the issue. I read that The registry string on the jpeg is supposed to be set to 1 to show that search has been set up properly. The same site said that if the D word is set to 0 you should reboot the machine and it will force the computer to setup the search process from the beginning again and change the D word to 1. For some reason this is not happening it is set to 0 and no matter the number of times I reboot the machine it stays at 0.
