Windows 8.1 - Outlook Indexing slowly - not indexing

Bit poster
Hello,

Hopefully, I am posting this to the correct forum.

Outlook has stopped indexing, in the windows environment (Non-VM) it is possible to right click on a file, click properties --> Advanced --> check include in Index. When i try to do this in Parallels, the "Advance" option icon is not available. How doe one ensure the file is marked for indexing. It is taking approximately 6 hours to index 5 items in Outlook. Something is astray.

Thanks,
Joe
 
Manjo,

Thank you for the information. I ended up creating a new virtual machine .... parallels made it easy. Thank you for the instructions, I was looking to back up parallels.

You were correct the problem was Window not Parallels.

Hi Joe236,

It looks like the issue is related to Outlook (not Parallels Desktop).You can try to follow the steps below:

1. Make a backup: http://kb.parallels.com/8829

2. Repair the Outlook data file:

3. If the issue persists, then create new Outlook profile following method 1 from the article below:
