How to Disable Windows Search?

How to Disable Windows Search?

Before disabling Windows Search, consider trying these alternatives:

  • Trim down the files and folders being indexed to improve performance.
  • Rebuild the search index if you experience crashes or inaccurate searches.
  • Note that other applications, such as Microsoft Outlook, rely on Windows Search for internal searching.

If you still want to proceed with disabling Windows Search, follow these steps:

  1. Click on the Start button and type “services,” then select the corresponding result.How to Disable Windows Search 2
