WindowsSearch.exe

[Guest]

Hi!

I'm using build 5600 (RC1) and have a huge problem with the WindowsSearch
process (Windows Desktop Search Tool Try Admin). The thing is that it
continues reloading it self every 3. second, so it's impossible to work
normally on the computer (the keyboard and the mouse loses focus). I have
tried several things like to disable the Windows Search service and the
indexing of the filesystem, but it continues reloading and reloading. My
solution now is to use the Safe Mode with Network until Microsoft have a new
build available, or maybe you have a solution?

Regards,
a frustrated beta tester using safe mode

Under problems and solutions Windows is telling me that problems with the
search protocol is solved in the next
CTP build. It happens here from time to time, you can kill the
searchprocesses in taskmanager.

If you type something in searchpane it will start itself new.

Also this seems to happen, when your drive is not yet complete indexed and
you try a search before that.

I am having the exact problem. I assumed it was the indexing icon in the
start menu. Is their another way to turn off the searchprocesses? With all
the reloading it makes it impossible to turn it off.

I repaired my problem. Heres how. Go to Control panel remove programs. Find
Windows search and unisttall. I had an old version and it was not working in
Vista. It will go away.
