![]() Once finished, it should go near almost 0 read/sec. Not sure what's going on here, perhaps a bunch of very small files, but either way wait for it to finish. Notice that right under the search bar, spotlight has a progress bar that says it's indexing even though it's only consuming <100kb/sec read (not consistent, sometimes takes 5 minutes to show up even after it starts).

Wait for steady-state and Remove "Macintosh HD" from the list with (-) button.Wait for steady-state and re-verify Might get a couple of errors, which seems fine. ![]() to show hidden folders, which there should be many. Click "+" to add an exclusion, and go into Macintosh HD.For me I left: Shared, System, Unreal Engine, VirtualBox VMs Clean up any exclusions that were noise in trying to figure this out, just leaving Macintosh HD and any others you know might be trouble-makers.Now the tricky part - have to figure out what in "Macintosh Hd" is causing the issue and exclude. Wait for steady-state, see read/sec down to Verify MDS has read/written the most bytes. Open Activity Monitor in stable-state, see massive read/sec.Here were my steps to diagnose this as the problem: Remove Applications and Users folder, and anything else you need.Add all folders (including hidden) under Macintosh HD to Spotlight exclusion.This was driving me insane, Task Manager was recording 50-500mb/sec read operations while computer was idle, and I narrowed it down to MDS.
