    Hi,
    Well, the title pretty much says it. I have disabled the Windows Search, but the check mark still appears in the C: drive properties box. When I remove the check mark and 'Apply', it goes throught it's thing, as if it's removing the indexing; but then, when I close the properties box and reopen it, there's the check mark again, in the allow indexing option.
    I don't know if this is just some sort of glitch, and the indexing is actually diabled or ???
    Any thoughts? ringtones free: https://phoneringtones.info/

    1. Open the Run window – press Windows key + R or just type Run in the Search bar.
    2. Type services.msc and press Enter or click OK.

    3. Find the Windows Search service and double-click on it. It looks like in the right screenshot.

    4. Find Startup type: and select Disable from the pull-down menu. Now click the Stop button to stop the service. Click Apply and OK buttons to save changes.

    5. Now restart your PC.
    After your PC restarts, Windows Indexing feature should be completely disabled on your PC. To turn it back on, simply undo the changes you made in this solution.

    Great explanation man.
    @BrianCa , you may want to mark this explanation as "best answer". Since you're new perhaps you don't know about it, it's a cool and useful feature of this forum.
