Welcome to the HP Forum.

Your PC has an PCIe NVME M.2 SSD. I turn off Indexing on all of my PCs having this type drive.

Indexing puts a hit on system performance when it is running. And it runs a lot.

I have no idea why you can't open files in explorer. I also can't see why disabling indexing would cause this symptom.

You should be able to enable Indexing in Services.

Do a Windows search for "services".

Right-click the "Services"  search result. Run as an Admin.

Scroll down to Windows Search within Services.  Double-click on Windows Search.

It should be disabled. Click on the Startup Type input field.

Select "Automatic (delayed start)".

Click: "Apply" and "Okay".

To continue,..

You should run diagnostics to check hardware if Indexing is enabled.

Check your PC's hardware using HP Diagnostics as follows:

Start the PC. Repeatedly tap the "ESC" key.

Select "F2". Run extensive system and component tests to confirm: a drive problem, a memory problem, or other component problem.
