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.

No seriously.
Feeds was using 100% of my CPU and my Hard drive space. Feeds way using 100GB of free space on my SSD and totally laging even my mouse clicks and keyboard use in MS office while traying to work.
Why of Why is Feeds using over 100 GB of my hard drive? It locked up my hard drive.
****?
Just happened to me. I was playing Genshin Impact with Discord, Chrome, and Spotify running in the background and noticed loading times were a lot longer than usual followed with some choppy framerates. Opened up task manager to see that Feeds was using 11GB.
I ended the task and disabled the News and Interest. So far it seems okay

Somebody mentioned another cumulative update (KB5010415), but so far it hasn't been showing up in my Updates tab.
Kinda sucks it's not available straight from the update menu and must searched it manually, no wonder my laptop is freezing and got like 0.00001 Fps on Idling. I got 6 years old laptop and this problem could've killed my laptop.
Gonna download the updates manually and hope it fixed it
Could it be to do with the malicious software removal tool update that tooke place on the 8th feb? Loooking through the feed it appears everyone had the same update on the 8th feb and when i looked at the properties of feeds.exe it said it was created on the 8th of february, the same day i updated my computer. I'm assuming its maybe a bug in the code. Fingers crossed.
PS I am on an NVidia driver.
I had the exact same experience at first, I found out that Feeds has something to do with the Server service in Services app. I restarted that service and it sort of fixed the Feeds problem but the server is still giving warning and errors in event viewer. Not really sure what the source of the problem is because I'm finding a lot of different problems.
I also installed the Windows update which didn't do anything with the event viewer problem.
