Is there a way to see which files are pending to be indexed?

In Windows 11 settings > Privacy & Security > Searching Windows, the Indexed Status indicates the number of indexed and pending files. Every now and then, Window's indexer kicks in and uses a lot CPU. The number of pending files changes a lot, but the number of indexed files do not. I know I'm not editing 40 - 50 files for that to be happening. I would like to see the list of files that is causing this indexing problem in order to find out what the problem is.

I already tried to rebuild the index and ran the troubleshooting, none of them made a difference. There is a possibility for this to be caused by Bitdefender or Google Drive, but I'm not sure.
