There are some serious issues reported not only in regards to articles not getting indexed, but also strange phenomenon like Google Console showing that website url's are indexed in Google, yet it is not, and there is even the reporting of Google de-indexing established url's, although of course not intentionally. Interestingly, although there are a lot of complaints in regards to these issues, it does not seem like everyone is affected.

Conclusion:

Although this can be very unsettling and upsetting I wanted to inform you not to be alarmed, as issues with indexing, de-indexing of url's as well as false positives in Google Console in regards to indexing is happening at the moment and has nothing to do with your website experiencing problems. Hopefully this article will stop you from wasting time like I did trying to investigate several issues in this regard thinking the fault lies with my particular website, which turned out not to be the case.

Ps. You may also want to read this article in regards to Google's new update in regards to the Google Analytics dashboard and the strange behaviour experienced there also atm https://my.wealthyaffiliate.com/szeeman/blog/noticed-the-cha...

Thanks for reminding me about Google, I just got Google Site Kit finally setup on my BootCamp Site correctly.
Before it was just coming back saying you need to connect, over and over again.

You are most welcome! Let's hope it all gets sorted soon.

Thanks a lot for sharing this info and saving as time, I appreciate it.
Hopefully, they sort thing out soon.

Have a great day.

You are most welcome! Wishing you a great day too!

Please check your domain prefix.

For Google or any search engine
www,
HTTP://www
Https://www
Is different.

There might be a chance google index www, not others and so.

Please check.

If any issues, let me know.

Thanks

Not too sure I understand what you are trying to say? All domains should be https:// now in order for it to be secure. But this is besides the point. There are issues currently with indexing due to Google updating their infrastructure.

Or have I misunderstood what you meant?

Thank you Szeeman.

You are certainly most welcome!

I uesd wonder why console shows that my article URLs are on Google yet even my website is not indexed.

Great! Now you know :) Let's hope Google gets it sorted soon.
