Microsoft uses a search indexer to crawl files, documents, images, videos, applications, and metadata on the system to return results quickly when you activate Windows Search. Microsoft has been continuously improving and adding new features to Windows Search in recent updates. For example, in Windows 10 May 2019 Update, 'Enhanced Mode' has been added to Windows Search, making it easier to expand the search index.

Although the Windows Search indexer plays a very important role, it causes excessive use of hard disk (Disk) and processor (CPU). Microsoft is clearly aware that the problem causing this system slowdown is caused by Windows Search.

Redmond says Windows 10 20H1 will come with a new algorithm that will detect excessive Disk usage and other performance issues. Thus, Windows 10 can regulate all search indexing activities to stabilize system performance.
