    Hi -

    I am also facing the same problem. earlier it was with Windows 10 - I was advised to upgrade to Win 11 - but I am at the same place. The system stops indexing as and when.

    Earlier it was stopping around 60000 - 70000, now at time the indexing has stopped at 4500 only. I am not sure if Win 11 is the problem - there is something which even Microsoft is not able to address or handle. I called the Microsoft agent, no definitive answers yet.

    My Search in Outlook does not work at all. Unable to do justice to my email responses - as I have missed many mails due to search errors.

    Dear All, Why cannot Microsoft resolve this issue in Windows 11? It is pending for such long time ? Really surprising no one is having the solution to this issue . Looks like need to inform CEO of Microsoft so that it gets noticed.

    Really pathetic state of affairs.

    Well i finally fixed this problem -

    I reinstalled windows 10, put all of my programs back on and all of outlook is working fine again.

    I might stay away from windows 11 upgrade for a few more years.

    Thanks

    Dean
