No problem Boggin, thank you for taking time out to look at it. Everything seems okay now after 3 hours of indexing!

Yes have done all of that to no avail but.....
Fingers crossed I think I have fixed it
I went into the registry: Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\WSearch and changed the location of the ImagePath to another folder on my hard drive e.g. C:\WinSearch\SearchIndexer.exe /Embedding and now the indexing is working. The folders inside c:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Search\Data are now being populated!
I am now able to rebuild the index so everything looks fine, just have to wait for a few hours for that to finish and then report back hopefully to say that the issue is now fixed.
Thanks for your help.

Hi, yes I have tried that also. If I had to list the things that I have tried it would take me all night! I was just hoping someone else on here had similar problems and managed to sort it.

Thanks Boggin but the repair install had been done a few days ago but did not cure the problem. Sometimes wish I had my old XP, at least I could manoeuvre stuff in that! I have spent at least 10 hours a day for the past week trying to sort this out.

Hi, I am new to the forum so a big HELLO from me.
I have been having problems with Windows 10 (fall edition) 32bit for some time now and in particular with trying to get Windows Search Indexing to work. I have tried many things and searched all over the Internet for fixes but have yet to find a fix that works.
I have taken ownership of the SearchIndexer.exe file in System32 but can only do this in Safe Mode but when I reboot back to normal boot the file reverts back to what it was so no changes made!!! Frustrating.
Because I have messed around with permissions I ran your Windows Repair last night but alas it did not fix my search problem. I have previously tried setting permissions to my Admin user account and also TrustedInstaller but neither worked.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Edit. Another problem is that I cannot run sfc /scannow in my normal Admin User Account, I get "Windows Resource Protection could not perform the requested operation", can only run in Safe Mode which does not return any errors.
