Windows Search's default indexing mode could be writing gigabytes to your SSD every day for a feature almost nobody uses

Key FactsWindows Search: Large indexes can consume substantial storage

Windows Search stores file contents and reindexes changed files; on some systems, Windows.db can reach 200GB.

An administrator PowerShell query shows the size; a few hundred megabytes is considered unremarkable, while larger values warrant investigation.

Rebuilding the index may temporarily make results incomplete; in the author’s example, the process took about 20 minutes.

The default Classic mode indexes selected folders, while Enhanced searches the entire PC and can index considerably more files.

The test ran in a Hyper-V virtual machine with four vCPUs, 8 GB RAM, and Windows 11 Pro 26H2.

Reported completion came after eleven minutes; Claude Code made 43 tool calls through six scripts.

The system removed 21 packages for every account and installed 12 winget-updatable applications.

The undo lists were accidentally emptied, while Everything and ShareX added new startup entries.

Windows blocked writing it even with admin rights, and I didn't try to get around that.

Key FactsPowerShell Script Prepares Work Setup at Sign-In

The script opens an SSH session in PowerShell, starts a separate Windows 11 Insider machine in VMware, and loads a specified Chrome work profile with selected websites.

It leaves 15 seconds between SSH and Chrome for password entry, while a one-minute pause between Chrome and VMware allows the pages to load.

For automatic execution at every sign-in, the author plans to set a sign-in trigger in Task Scheduler and have it start PowerShell with the script.

After several test runs, the author reported no errors or application conflicts, although keyboard input is still required for SSH and opening the virtual machine.

Win11Debloat is an open-source PowerShell script designed to declutter Windows 10 and 11 by removing pre-installed apps and disabling unnecessary features.

The newest update adds an option to stop vendor-specific companion software from installing alongside drivers automatically.

A reboot warning feature was introduced to notify users when undoing certain modifications requires a system restart.

Additional fixes and enhancements improve script reliability and user experience.
