'PhpStorm custom time to index files
I have a very, very large project in PhpStorm that is about 10 GB in size.
Unfortunately, every time I open this software, it starts scanning files.
Is it possible to set it to index at any time? I did not find a section in the settings.

That is not possible.
The indexing is done on a start as the IDE works with your indexed/parsed code in order to offer code completion, find usages, refactoring and other stuff.
The indexing is slow on the first run as the IDE needs to actually scan and parse all the files. Subsequent project openings are much faster: the IDE scans the project files looking for changes and only re-indexes new/modified files.
If you open a project in a new IDE version or after invalidating the caches, the IDE will re-index the whole thing again.
You can mark certain folders (that do not participate in code completion like logs, DB dumps, product images, user generated content, generated code files etc) as Excluded so they are not getting indexed (they still will be scanned/checked for changes but not parsed/indexed).
