    Thumbs down windowssearch.exe not responding

    Recently the windowssearch.exe has began locking up until the user clicks 'end task' is there any way of removing this process. I've looked at the event logs and can't see any reason why the service locks up.

    I uninstall it whenever I come across it, really slows down the workstation.

    Thanks

    you can run the uninst on your entire site if you have software like impero, this software is awful to the core, same for google desktop.
