Intellij Updating Indexes Ad Infinitum

Answered

This post is similar to this one: https://intellij-support.jetbrains.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/360003478399-Why-it-s-updating-indices-again-and-again-making-it-unusable-at-all 

Every time I load a project Injellij enters a loop in which it keeps "Updating indexes". When it finishes it starts again. This is especially true when I load Kotlin projects!

To save everyone loads of time and heartache, just disable this permanently:

 

 

Never ever allow automatic downloads for that or else you will find out how frustrating Intellij can be. Off to bed now.
