I get a Microsoft Search Protocol Host has stopped working the alert box. How to solve this?
I get a Microsoft Search Protocol Host has stopped working the alert box. How to solve this? It gives me the option to 'Search online (recommended)', but when I click on it nothing happens. Tried to restart and used Malware Bytes and my security suite Norton to seek something malicious, without success. Any suggestions?
Hello
1. have you made changes on the computer before this problem?
2. when exactly you get this error?
I suggest you try to reset to a new start Indexing Options by removing and then rebuild the index and check if it helps.
Your search index requires virtually no maintenance. However, if the index looking for files that you know problems must be in a location indexed; You may have to re-create the index.
To rebuild the index:
a. open indexing and Search Options by clicking the Start button, click on the Control Panel, clicking system and Maintenance, and then clicking Indexing Options.
b. click Advanced Options, click the index settings tab and then click on rebuild. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
See the link below for more details:
