Enable or disable enhanced mode for search indexing in Windows 10

New features are integrated into each new Windows 10 build and many other features are improved. With the new compilation available for Windows 10 Insider users, which is called 18267, a new feature called Enhanced Mode has been added for all search topics in the operating system. Recall that Windows 10 is able to index the files so that the Start menu, File Explorer and Cortana can search them much faster and more accurately. Indexing tasks are executed in the background without affecting the performance of the equipment..

With this new compilation of Windows 10 build 18267 we can enable the Enhanced Mode which has been developed to improve search indexing since the Enhanced Mode allows Windows 10 to perform the search in all folders and drives. More does not limit the search to libraries such as documents, images, videos and desktop which are the ones that are defined by default.

TechnoWikis will explain how we can activate this Enhanced Mode in this new compilation of Windows 10 in a simple way..
