Greetings to all!

I am in need of some assistance as I have discovered that my indexer backoff feature has not been functioning as expected. Despite my efforts to enable it through various methods such as adjusting the DisableIndexerBackoff setting in regedit, disabling the Disable Indexer Backoff setting in Group Policy, and restarting the Windows Search service, the indexer is still consuming a significant amount of my PC’s resources at maximum speed. Previously, the indexer used to display a message stating “Indexing speed is reduced because of user activity,” indicating normal functioning, but it no longer does so.

It is essential to mention that I have not made any changes that could have caused this issue. After a few Windows 11 updates and having the indexer backoff disabled for an extended period, when I attempted to enable it, it failed to work properly. This was not the case nearly half a year ago when everything was functioning correctly. I have extensively researched similar issues but have not found a satisfactory solution.

I am seeking advice on how to resolve the problem of the indexer backoff not reducing the indexing speed despite being enabled. Any insights or expertise from those who have encountered a similar issue would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance for your assistance!
