In Windows 10 Home Pro, I went to Settings > Search > Searching Windows and added all the folders I wanted excluded from search under Excluded Folders. I did a search and it is including the folders I excluded.

I rebuilt the Index with no change.

I went to the Local Group Policy Editor and went to Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Search and everything here is 'Not configured' under the State column.

I am not using an external search program. I am using Windows Explorer Search.

Everything is spelled correctly.

Why is this happening?

Thank you.
