Hi, I had just installed Windows 10 Enterprise 1607 (build 14393.105) on my computer, and I noticed that the fans were always running. Looking into task manager and I found that "Microsoft Windows Search Filter Host" and "Microsoft Windows Search Protocol Host" were always using >40% CPU combined. I check "indexing options" in control panel, but it says "indexing complete". I tried "delete and rebuild index", and it finished within 30min, but the two processes above were still running and sucking cpu for no reason.


I tried "trouble shooting windows search" but it returned no problems.


Anyone know how to fix this issue?
