Let's have a look at your event logs, and I'll see if anything smacks me in the face.
Open Event Viewer
click on the Windows logs entry in the left pane to expand it.
Now click on the Application entry - wait while it loads.
Click on 'File' in the menu bar and select Save...
Save the file as Appevt.evtx
Repeat for the System log
then zip both, and upload them.
Requested logs are attached. The most recent crash from the IE11 failed install was on 10/23.
You have a fairly large number of errors -
ScRegSetValueExW call failed - possibly from an errant AV, or from malware
WD Backup service failed to start
Windows Search service terminated unexpectedly
The FontCache service terminated with the following error: FontCache is not a valid Win32 application. (!!)
A couple of CA Certificates are out of date (and seem to have been so for more than 3 years)
Lots of Search errors with inaccessible sources. - and some with corrupt indexes.
You also have some errors in the SPP area - which may give us another handle on the problems.
we need to see a full copy of the report produced by the MGADiag tool
(download and save to desktop - http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=52012 )
Once saved, run the tool.
Click on the Continue button, which will produce the report.
To copy the report to your response, click on the Copy button in the tool (ignore any error messages at this point), and then paste (using either r-click/Paste, or Ctrl+V ) into your response.
- in your own thread, please
Please also state the Version and Edition of Windows quoted on your COA sticker (if you have one) on the case of your machine (or inside the battery compartment), but do NOT quote the Key on the sticker!

I noticed the product key on the sticker is different that the product key in the below report.

That's normal.
Computers that come pre-installed with Windows from large manufacturers usually come with two Product Keys.
OEM SLP: This is the key that came in Windows (from the factory). It works by connecting to a BIOS flag (the SLIC table) found only on computers from that Manufacturer. It also checks for the existence of proper matching licenses in the OS itself. Once it sees both, it self-activates every time the machine is rebooted.
COA SLP: This is the key seen on the sticker located on the side, bottom or in the battery compartment of your machine. This key is for use if the OEM SLP self-activation stops working for whatever reason.
There's no errors in your report, which is a little surprising, considering the Event log errors I saw.
I think your worst problem is with the Search service - whether this is cause or effect is another matter.
Possibly the best way to approach it is to reset it to defaults and see what happens.
Index - Rebuild will help
Please show a screenshot of the settings as in the tutorial picture in section 2
Done with the index rebuild, but I am missing something re: the settings screen shot you need. I see a link "To read the entire tutorial" in post #10 on page 2, but when I click on this link it just takes
me back to the beginning.
Nah - I meant para 2 of the original Tutorial post (the rest of the thread is just questions and discussion.)
Never mind my previous post, I understand now, just a minute
That looks normal enough - I was wondering if there were any strange areas being indexed, but it seems not.
