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.

I've had 2 crashes now. Problem stopped after restart on both occasions. The laptop basically froze so even task manager wouldn't come up, and the cursor wrong move. Device doesn't recognize word mouse when I plug one in during this state.
Tonight it started slowing down, but I was able to turn off Wi-Fi and bring up task manager when I noticed the memory usage at 99%, and Feeds / Search Application being the main resource hog.

Started to happen to me also for the last 2 days, i havent install anything new or modify anything in my computer. there is any fix instead of end task from task manager when all the apps start to crash because i get out of ram memory? i have an i7 7700k CPU with 32GB ram. 2 ssd, 1070 gtx videocard.
there is any way to disable the feeds?
I don't know if it's been said in this whole thread before or not, but I just encountered the Feeds: Search Application eating up to 80% of my ram, so I killed the process, assuming it was some rogue windows app, and killing the process caused a battle.net update that was happening to error with a process terminated message. Not sure why a battle.net update would cause feeds to trigger some wild memory leak.
I am having this exact issue as well and had to kill whatever it was doing in the background cause it just bricks anything I try to use on my computer. Glad I found this thread, thought it was weird.
Specs:
Intel i5-7200U @ 2.50GHz
8 GB RAM
SSD Drive
It was maxing out my RAM and SSD to 100%
I had the exact same issue the morning after i installed a windows update.
Running scans on my computer now but i haven't needed to installed anything on this computer for quite a while.
AMD CPU and Nvidia GPU, my drivers are standard and haven't been changed since before the windows update.
I hope this information proves useful.
