    We have Win8.1 rolled out within the company. However when users are searching for a file on a Network NAS it is extremely slow and after 10-15 minutes there would be a result and sometimes it would show no results at all. We don't have Indexing enabled.

    Has anyone else experienced this and do they have a potential work around or idea as to why this could be an issue\happening. Windows XP had no issues, the searches would come back with a result.

    Hi SHStefan,

     

    Based on your description, I want to confirm that have you made any changes before the problem occurred? Please make sure your network adapter works properly.

     

    First of all, let’s try to perform a clean boot and check the result.

    The build-in troubleshooting may be a good idea, please try it.

    Navigate to Control Panel>Troubleshooting>System and Security>Search and Indexing

     

    Best Regards,
