Windows Search service is set to start "Automatic".



But it doesn't start automatically,



If I try to start it manually, I get an error saying Windows could not start the Windows Search service on Local Computer Error 1722 The RPS server is unavailable".



Remote Procedure call (RPS) is running, but when I check the properties it is greyed out.



How can I start Windows Search service?

I had the same while there was constantly moving cursor after some time when some folder was opened and some things were clicked there in explorer.
Also opening indexing settings in the new settings panel was freezing the system.

Either
sfc /scannow
did the trick after reboot (Windows Search was already set to automatic, but it was disabled),
but I also deleted the content of c:\Windows\System32\config\TxR\ before from other OS (the location was also freezing the system sometimes).
Or maybe the PS script did the trick. It's down, but here it is:

I did these three things near the same time. Something should help. 24H2.

After all of this, it stopped working again, then I launched the PS script and rebooted, and it worked.

I think it all started after fiddling with some WinAero Tweaker options. Then I started searching some files inside the system, and it didn't work as intended, and it showed an option to turn on indexing, and then I realized it actually didn't work.
