I am continually receiving the message in the indexer: Indexing speed is reduced due to user activity.

I currently have the policy, Local Computer Policy\Administrative Template\Windows\Components\Search\Disable Indexer Backoff enabled.

Also, I have set the value of Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows Search\Gathering Manager\DisableBackOffOnUser to 1.

Additionally, I set Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows Search\Gathering Manager\DisableBackOff to 1.

However, the indexer continues to backoff. Am I missing a setting somewhere.

I am running Windows 10 22H2 and have rebooted the system since the above policy was enabled.

Other things I have done that do not work

In addition to want I tried above, I have also added the following DWORD/values:

Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows Search\Gathering Manager\DisableBackOffOnIO=1

Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows Search\Gathering Manager\DisableBackOffOnCPU=1

Compared to another computer

I looked at the registry for a different Windows 10 machine and there were a lot of entries that don't exist on the computer that is problematic. Might this be the problem?

Still, I continue to received the message `indexing speed is reduced due to user activity

Is there anything else I can try?

It's broken and will no longer reliably honor the setting including group policy. Another bug since they moved the setting to Gathering Manager.
