I noticed that the PC started running slow today and opened task manager to see that System, Feeds (Search application) is using CPU and Disk quite heavily and as much ram that it can to pin it to 100%.
Is anyone else experiencing this behavior?
Update: Windows crashed and i restarted, same application started to ramp up again so i ended it.
Looking into events now.
Locked Question. This question was migrated from the Microsoft Support Community. You can vote on whether it's helpful, but you can't add comments or replies or follow the question.
Why would third part apps affect the role that the feeds applicaiton runs on. Feeds should only be checking for certain news and location based services. I have many of theses fearures disabled because feeds constantly is bugging me. If the applicaiton is doing something outisde these realms it is a breach of privacy & microsoft is accessing services not stated in the application EULA.
On that note, why does this application take up 30 out of my 32 gb of ram.
I think I'm having the same issue too. Just started the afternoon - computer is revving and running so slow at times I can't use it. I've only had it 2-3 months (refurbished) so I haven't added much to it.
What can we do about this please!!?
Thank you for starting this chat, I had the same issue today while video editing in Davinci resolve, I killed the process after I noticed, I also disabled feeds on the taskbar, here are the specs of my workstation.
PROCESSOR: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-9850H CPU @ 2.60GHz 2.59 GHz
RAM: 64.0 GB (63.7 GB usable)
System Type: 64-bit operating system, x64-based processor
Windows Edition: Windows 10 Pro
Version: 21H2
Installed on: 10/14/2020
OS build: 19044.1526
Experience: Windows Feature Experience Pack 120.2212.4170.0
I have the same issue, feeds is using almost 31/32 gigs of my system to the point where everything is practically unusable.
AMD processor, 32 gigs of memory 19042.1526 build
Ending the SearchApp task has quietened everything down for now - fingers crossed but I'm not feeling too optimistic!
I've checked my updates too, only one thing updated today (related to Defender Antivirus) and the same cumulative update as you JimmahChongah ( KB5010342) yesterday. Which includes something about the News and Interests feed - is that what Feeds is, which includes the problematic SearchApp? I have no idea with this stuff.
