Groove Music not finding local files

On my desktop, Groove music is not finding any of my local music files that I have in the folders I have added (mostly my existing iTunes folders).  I've tried resetting the app but still no luck.  Grabbing my OneDrive files with no problem.

Any thoughts?

    It seems mine is also not updating new additions in local folders. Ive put the music files in several places including the cloud and groove is not recognizing them no matter where i put them, including the places it says its looking. i feel like a 'refresh the list' button would be helpful.

    -also tried hitting the reset under settings, it did nothing.

    This doesn't help. I even tried copying files to the folder Groove/Windows 10 made for music, it still can't find the music on my Surface 3.

    I'm having a similar situation where groove music will not re-scan for music. All I've found is adding a folder to the "Watched" list. I've even added some of the tracks to the already watched lists. Still nothing. Is there no "Rescan" button?

    Thanks Carlos.

    Unfortunately, I can't rename my music folder since it's within iTunes, and I still need that to sync my phones. 

    Also, I don't see that option under preferences (Use Windows Indexing).  Is it somewhere other than the settings in the app itself?
