Feeds / Search application using all of the ram

Windows 10 update was forced on my laptop without my approval after I put laptop in hibernation.

When I booted it up and started Brave browser it locked up & mouse & everything locked up. Finally got to Task Master and found FEEDS, Search Application was rapidly increasing RAM usage. Ended task at over 9 GB RAM usage.

Version 10.0.19043 Build 19043

Dell System Model G5 5590

Processor Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-9750H CPU @ 2.60GHz, 2592 Mhz, 6 Core(s), 12 Logical Processor(s)

Installed Physical Memory (RAM) 16.0 GB

Name NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 Ti

At the time of problem the system was downloading update for Alienware - again without my permission.

Alienware Command Center Application

v5.4.16.0 (A00) January 14, 2022

And same for me, first time today...

In my case Firefox stopped working, screen blacked out for some seconds and then Windows reacted again. Checknig Taskmanager I already got the red-warning on RAM usage Feeds using up almost the full 32GB of RAM.

Killing the process and everything turned back to normal for now.

Got an Intel i7-8700, an 1070 NVidia GPU and Bitdefender Antivirus running... the system is usually rock-stable for years in daily use. This must be some update installed recently, as I also did not change the software setup otherwise.
(Zoom updated yesterday... Firefox, Edge and Office 365 did)

Same issue here, Ryzen 5600x, nvidia gpu and 32gb ram. Apparently this could be something related to AMD processors/chipset? Probably not, but i've seen mostly AMD users in a few replies

I had this exact same thing happen to me two days ago. My computer screens went black and I was experiencing some heavy lag while running a Valheim with a friend, my PC usually handles it extremely well. I figured it was something graphically so I restarted the game and apparently my computer stopped recognizing my mic. I'd been muted for half of the play session without realizing it. Restarting my computer was an easy fix. However it happened again so I decided to do some checking and found out feeds was taking up about 80% of my Ram. I noticed this starting to happen after I updated my Nivida drivers, I haven't downloaded anything else recently.

I literally just had this happen today. Seems I had it a bit worse than most of you, my monitors went black for a bit, windows explorer stopped functioning, and after I ended the "feeds" task my computer forgot I had a microphone and I had to restart Discord just to be able to interact with it. Seems it not only eats all of the available ram but also the ram that the rest of your computer is using. After a full restart everything seems fine for now except for an odd instance of re-opening my browser tabs (about 10 tabs) using 100% of my Ryzen 3900x for a few seconds.
