Turning Off Indexing in Windows

Using Control Panel

You can usually turn of most indexing by clicking on the properties of the device. However, it seems windows 10 doesn't fully listen, so it may be best to approach this task via the control panel.

1. Open Control Panels
2. Look for where things are indexed
3. Follow these instructions to disable indexing or something like the intent of the instructions.

Disabling indexing of disk from C drive properties

1. Double-click on My Computer (or Computer).
2. Right-click on C: drive (or the drive letter that Postgres is installed under).
3. Select Properties from the popup context menu.
4. Click the General tab.
5. Remove the check in the "Allow files on this drive to have contents indexed in addition to file properties" box.

   

6. Click Apply.

   It may take several minutes for Indexing to complete. If a message pops up indicating Administrator permissions are required click Ok. If the current user is not the Administrator a prompt for the Administrator password will appear. Enter the password and continue. If a prompt appears indicating select folders cannot be altered it may be they are already open. Click Ignore All and let the process continue.

7. Click OK.
8. Reboot the computer.

Repeat this setting on the Web Listener computer, and the Apache server as well
