Hi!
So, I just got a new notebook with Windows 10.
I'm coming from Windows 7.
In previous system, W7 as mentioned, I had 309.000+ files indexed for a
windows.edb size of 1,4 GB.
I transferred nearly everything on the new machine and let the indexer run.
The first time it indexed 280.000+ files for a stunning
60 GB (sixty gigabytes) of windows.edb.
Decided to delete and rebuild, I deleted as many mails and files (a backup was already in place)
as possible before re-indexing again.
The second time it indexed 155.000+ files for a windows.edb size of
15 GB+.
So I deleted more files and emails, in the meantime the Search Indexer decided to delete+build on its own. It's now on
109.000+ files indexed for a 6,5 GB windows.edb file.
In the end: Windows 7 was working great with indexing and Windows 10 can't do the same work with the same data.
The parameters for indexing properties and contents are the same in both W7 and W10 for the extensions I typically use.
At a certain point in time I was having issues with W7+Search Indexer and was able to uninstall (n.b.: uninstall, not deactivate) and reinstall; that fixed a problem I had.
In W10 I'm not able to find any way to uninstall and reinstall it.
Thank you in advance.
