Indexing projects - why every time?!
Answered
IntelliJ IDEA 2021.2.3 (Ultimate Edition)
Build #IU-212.5457.46, built on October 12, 2021
There are some posts with the same "problem" -> indexing!!!
JetBrains why happens this on every start?!
I open IntelliJ. There are no changes on project. The Index windows popups at start. It just sucks. Intellij is getting worse.

Try EAP version of IntelliJ IDEA where we changed the logic a bit.
Let me know if the issue is still here.
Thx. I will try this.
Hide "Background Tasks" is not working.
I don't see any changes in this version.
The problem is that after IntelliJ start the "Background Tasks" popup is visible. It should run hidden. What it's visible? This should run in background.
Why update indexes for dependencies and jdk libs on every open project action? Yes, I have 8C/16T CPU and NVMe. But this updates are not normal. too often and not needed.
From my point of view update index should be done if I do some changes on the pom.xml. What is the reason for this procedure? Why on evry start?
Just store md5 sum of the project pom.xml's in .idea folder (if I do some changes in project not in IntelliJ) and call this on start when md5 sums are not equal. Or something different.
How do you stop IntelliJ IDEA? Do you invoke system shut down, or any other hard stop way?
Please share the logs folder zipped via https://uploads.jetbrains.com, so I can check the exact reason the reindex triggered.
Thanks.
I'm normaly closing Intellj and I shut down my system.

-> tell me, when you downloaded it. Than I can remove it.
-> nee you more logs?
Start Intellij -> open the project -> indexing -> closing intellij -> repeat this x times with no changes on code. As yu can see ... too much scans.
I downloaded them, thanks. May you share the whole logs folder, including idea.log, and indexing-diagnostics?
You can attach them to bug request I've just created: https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEA-281231
I uploaded the whole log folder: Upload id: 2021_10_26_9btki2mcnCA2nrVa (file: log.zip)

I've got the same problem, and it's getting worse for every update. I'll have to consider cancelling the coorporate subscription for this IDE and look at alternatives if you don't fix this soon. It's stealing hours and hours of work time every week. And it's completely, 100% pointless and useless.
