Sounds like Windows Search Indexer. I just changed the settings in my Win 11 VM to only index the Start menu, but I'm also an old school folder user, so I never use the Windows menu to find files anyway.

Before the change, my VM was arbitrarily locking up, unable to do just about anything. It's been a lot smoother since the change.
