Windows 8.1 slow to search from windows key

iMacMart · 5 Feb 2014 at 11:18

Hi Guys

I have a new laptop for work, loving 8.1 but the search function is horribly slow

A guy I work along side has an older spec laptop and his is instant as you start typing the search?

Is there anything I can turn on/off to speed things up, I've searched online but can't find an answer

Many thanks

Tweak your indexing locations

Better still (takes ages to do it) tweak your indexing filetypes. Can't believe MS haven't implemented a quick way to do it.

hi bledd

Any guides on how to do this that you know of?

Thanks
