Fluent Search File Indexing is taking too much cpu

[kumar007git]

Describe the bug Fluent search file indexing is always running at a minimum of 10% cpu in task manager. In fact, I see Fluent Search file indexing process running in task manager with high cpu even though I have not started Fluent Search application.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Go to task manager
2. Search for Fluent Search File Indexer

Expected behavior Fluent Search file indexer should be running only if Fluent Search app is started and running. Also, should not be constantly running at 10% cpu consumption in task manager.

• Windows 10 Version: 21H2
• Fluent Search Version 0.9.91.50

@kumar007git thanks for the feedback. Do you have some kind of background task that continously copies/generate/move files?

In general, the Fluent Search file indexer should not consume more than 1% CPU on normal usage.

To stop the indexer from running always, you can do the following -

1. Open Run, type services.msc
2. Find FluentSearch.FileIndexer, right click it -> properties
3. Change startup to manual.

Now the indexer will not start with Windows, but when Fluent Search client starts it will try start the indexer which will prompt a UAC (request for admin permission).

This issue has been potentially fixed in version 0.9.91.70 . Changelog - https://install.appcenter.ms/users/adirh3-gmail.com/apps/fluent-search-alpha/distribution_groups/exe
