On April 28, 2023, the last version was released that works on Windows Server…
Version (6.x) August 22, 2024 - searchD no longer works (wrong/old DLLs)
Version (7.x) January 30, 2025 - the indexer is 8 to 10 times slower. Unusable!
Perhaps it would be better to completely discontinue “Windows support” rather than release unusable versions.
Best regards,
Peter
it could be better to report all issues with MRE as our tests show no issues with Windows release

regards Peter
could you provide complete case that I could run localy and get the same behavior that I could investigate?
the issue with IO limit was fixed at fix regression in io size · manticoresoftware/manticoresearch@b3fb5fc · GitHub
thanks
