How can I stop Android Studio Indexing/Scanning/Building altogether at startup?

Question

How can I stop this indexing or whatever this startup process? What is it for? Why is it doing it? Can I defer the loading of such huge process later on when I most need it?

Answer 1

I solved it by just Invalidate and Restart. I experienced this isssue in a loop, indexing non stop without Run or Build anything.

File --> Invalidate Cache/Restart.
