Windows Search Indexer rudely takes over the disk speed
I have an nvme 512 ssd and its 65 GB free. I have been seeing fluctuations in space but I don't care as long as I can get my job done. But recently my windows started lagging and buffering occasionally, and very abruptly.
I checked the task manager and I see Disk being used at 100% - Windows Search Indexer writing gigabytes of data taking over the ssd and making other programs lag and freeze. This didn't happen once, or twice, but keeps happening abruptly occasionally. Idk what's up with that BUT I DON'T WANT MY SYSTEM TO FREEZE AND OLD SSD TO WEAR OFF JUST FROM THE INDEXER
