Problem can be fixed by creating C:\windows\ldntvdm.ini with content:

[blacklist]
SearchIndexer.exe
wslservice.exe

Maybe ship this blacklist with default installation?

Thank you for the fix. NTVDMx64 now works fine with both WSL and Windows Search. I have also updated my blog article with this fix. Thank you once again.

does this work for Windows 10 users as well, or Windows 11 only?

leecher1337 commented 2 months ago

Changelog states Win 10 and 11, so it should work on Win 10 too.
