Windows 10 is seaching the wrong drive

Question

Windows 10 is searching the wrong drive. I have a cloned drive F:\ . When I set the search indexer to only search the C:\ it changes it back to F:\ no matter what I do. These windows 10 search problems have been driving me crazy for about 10 months. This was never an issue on windows 7 to have a cloned drive. Windows support recommended I completely reinstall windows so I did and still have the same issues. I believe the issue is related to have a cloned drive on the system, but I can't figure out how to fix this.

Hi,
The clone disk did have this problem with index option on Win10.
Some information in the link below.

Have you tried to instead of assigning a drive letter, assign a mount point folder path to a drive?
