    Windows Search Service does not start at boot


    I am having an issue with Windows Search Service. Almost every time I boot (in the morning), the Search service is disabled. Either I have to repair the function, or go into Services and restart it. Each time I do, I set the Windows Search service to start automatically. Sometimes it does, and sometimes not.

    This has been going on for several months. It got so bad; I installed another search program (Copernic) that worked just fine. But in the end, I actually reformatted my HD and reinstalled all apps and restored Documents. For a couple of weeks, everything was fine. Now it has started again. On boot the Windows Search service does not start.

    I have tried every fix that seemed reasonable and that I found online (too many to recite here). My virus software (AVG) finds nothing. I checked all the Windows components and they are correct. No repair needed. This thing is driving me crazy. Help would be appreciated.

    Here is my System information:

    Please use my advice from this post to determine if there are any errors in Event Viewer related to that service.

    Start and type sfc /scannow. This is Windows 7 System File Checker. Run it 3 times. Restart after each. Make sure you have Indexing on auto. Let us know the results.
