This system process indexes and updates lists of all the files that are on your computer. Why? So that the next time you do a search on your PC, it will search faster by scanning the index lists. If you don’t search your computer often, this system service is completely unnecessary.

How to disable file indexing:

1. Go to Start and click Control Panel.

2. Double-click Add or Remove Programs and click the Add/Remove Windows Components icon on the left side of the window. This may take a few seconds to load so please be patient.

3. Look for “Indexing Service” component in the list.

4. Uncheck the Indexing Services.

Windows Components Wizard

5. Click Next then click Finish.

You’re done!
