But hey, here is the copypaste:

1. Stop Windows Search service:

Win + R, services.msc, Enter

Find the Windows Search entry, click on it, and choose Stop from the left column.

2. Remove the following registry branch in its entirety:

   HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows Search\CrawlScopeManager\Windows\SystemIndex

You can use the free home edition of Registrar Registry Manager for this.

3. Follow the step #1, but click Start instead of Stop this time.
