    Oulook indexing exception win11

    In Windows, right-click Start, and then select Run. In the Open: box type regedit, and then choose OK. This will open the registry editor.

    Find this subkey in the registry and then click it:

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows

    Select Edit > New > Key and name the new key Windows Search.

    Choose the new Windows Search key.

    Select Edit > New > DWORD Value.

    Type PreventIndexingOutlook for the name of the DWORD, and then press Enter.

    Right-click PreventIndexingOutlook, and then choose Modify.

    In the Value data box, type 1 to enable the registry entry, and then select OK.

    Exit Registry Editor, and then restart Outlook.

    Already done but, for my customer, searching mail without indexing is too slow expecially since it start from the oldest mail.

    I have to install a working Outlook indexing + Exhange so that I can be sure that there's also Ms direct support and the exact mail output from Outlook, webmail and mobile App
