I have two hard drives in my PC (Dell XPS 8900 with Windows 10)
Primary drive C: is my OS drive and secondary drive B: is my media drive. WD Caviar Black 4TB Stripped
Using the Windows search (search box in upper right) I can search successfully my C: drive as well as a mapped network drive.
However the search will not find anything on my B: drive (the secondary drive).
If I highlight "This PC" it will search all drives but my B: drive and come up with results from the other drives but nothing from B:.
Note - I have the SAME file on ALL drives I am testing with.
If I highlight "Media Drive (B: )" and perform a search I get "No items match your search" immediately. It looks as if it doesn't even try to search it and not find anything it just instantly comes up with "No items match your search".
I tried re-indexing through the control panel command, rebooted, changed drive letter... but still no success.
Why does windows 10 refuse to search this drive?
