Windows Indexing running for hours each day, slowing down computer

Every morning when I start my laptop, the Windows Indexing service starts.  He turns for hours and really slows down my computer while it is running.  I suspect that it is a new construction index every day and not incremental update.

Last week, I opened administrative services, found indexing service and set its startup type to disabled.  When I go in there now, he said that the service is stopped, but in my status bar windows taskbar system, it is still ongoing.

I am running Windows XP Professional Svc Pack 3.

Help, please!

You probably mean the Windows Desktop Search?  (Which is not the same as Indexing Service).  Go to add/remove programs then uninstall it.

  • Windows Update runs for a long time without finding update

    Separated from this thread.

    Hi men, I have a similar problem with update of windows 7.

    Windows Update runs long without finding updated and do not stop running.

    on the "windows Update" Panel, Windows shows no research update and no updates installed, while all are displayed on the history until the KB915597 on 21/06/2015

    I found on the web a lot of posts on this problem, but without finding a solution so far.

    On top the English is not my native language, that's why I'll be very interested if anyone, old or young to help me.

    Thank you in advance

    You should be able to remove from Add/Remove programs in the control panel.

    Or, you can open IE > view > toolbars > uncheck the toolbar you do not want to display.

    Hi Ron,

    Try the following.

    Hold down the Windows key and press R.  In the run box, type msconfig and press to enter.  In the System Configuration window, select the Startup tab and Remove the check mark next to the HP update agent.  Click apply and then click Ok to save the changes and restart the PC for this change to take effect.

  • Purge of ISE MnT node running for 6 consecutive days

    Hi all

    Our ISE 1.1.4 patch 2 MnT node seems to be stuck in the purge of the DB. I get e-mail alerts that say "hourly purge jumped as purge has started execution." Also, when I try to run a backup of the node MnT I get the message. "Cannot submit the full backup when the purge of the data is ongoing."

    We received the error 'cursors open maximum exceeded. " When I arrived I have re-synchronized deployment who handed running the services on the node of NCDs. This cleared the error of open cursors but we left where we are now. I was hoping he would liberate itself over time, but it didn't.

    All I can think to do is to restart the services of EHT on the terrain node, but I'm a little worried about what could happen if I do this in the middle of a purge. Of course we do not have a recent backup of the terrain (see above), and I wouldn't want to lose historical data.

    I did not open a TAC again, if not answers here. We cannot patch or upgrade above 1.1.4 patch 2 because we're waiting on a fix for a bug unrelated.

    Any ideas appreciated, thank you.

    Hi Leroy Plock,

    Let me explain the root cause of the experience, the "hourly purge jumped as purge is already running."

    While the hourly purge process is triggered the Terrain node has experienced the problem of open cursors and so as there is no open thread / update a communication of the complete process from purge to purge logic, the hourly purge is hit in the running state.

    Her can be solved by changing the people who runs already serving the process to completed status. By cela the next hourly purge process will be triggered automatically.

    The alarm you see that purging process is already running is the side effect of the default of the said above CSCuh70984.

    Please open a SR with TAC and they help you to address the fix for the purge running alarms.

    The reason for seeking to prosecute TAC is that the difficulty is by running the database of SQL queries on your database of NTMS and once that is done, you must restart the services on the node MNT.

  • Configuring updates 3 of 3 remains at 90% for hours, and then finally my computer starts. How can I solve this problem?

    When I stop my laptop and reboot I get the text next message on my screen of configuration updates to date 3/3 0% then it goes straight to 90% and stay like that for at least 6 hours. So, I'm on my login screen. I have a laptop Acer Aspire 2920. Then when I log in there is not problems that all programs work correctly.

    Hello

    It happens every time you start the computer?

    If this is the only time where you received this message, then it is because updates is installed on the computer and gets set up when you start the computer.

    If this happens every time that you start the computer, and then follow the steps below to solve the problem:

    Method 1: Try in safe mode.

    Step 1: Try to boot in safe mode and check if the problem persists:
