So I have noticed recently that my windows searches have been a little bit slow. I checked to see what the issue was and it was the windows search indexer. The windows search indexer was not running so I went to the Microsoft management console and tried to run the indexer but it gave an error. The code is "Error 3: The system cannot find the path specified". Now the windows searches may or may not be related to the windows search indexer not running. I just don't know.

The sfc scan didn't find anything wrong with the pc.

great idea Compton, thanks! I will keep this in mind for the future!

Do you have Indexing Options disabled?

Please try the advice given by Slashgeek at https://www.tomshardware.com/forum/id-2786642/windows-search-indexing-broken.html

If that does not work, you can try the restore of system services as Compton advised

The scan said no threats found.
