In Windows 7 help: “…you can pause indexing for 15 minutes at a time”. It’s grayed out, because it will automatically resume after 15 minutes.

This is quite the oversight on Microsoft’s part. Why on Earth would they not add a ‘Resume’ button when you click ‘Pause’? That is just silly. Thanks for sharing the fix, as I never reboot this machine, so it would remain paused for a quite a long time if I didn’t find this posting.

1) Doesn’t apply to my problem. Indexing is paused, but Windows Search Service reports it is “Started.”
2) Please check your English. “When WSearch indexing is running, it will unavoidable has read and write access to hard disk, causing slowdown in computing performance” does not make sense. It should read, “When WSearch indexing is running, it will unavoidably cause read and write access to hard disk, causing slowdown in computing performance” or something like that. Thanks for trying, though.
