Feeds / Search application using all of the ram

Anonymous

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.

    FEEDS process is part of the News and Interests function. Right click taskbar, highlight News and Interests, select Turn Off

    Possible Solution: Right Click Taskbar > News and Interests > Disable.
    Then select end task on the Feed Search task. Usually takes about a minute but the RAM eating has stopped completely for me

    I installed the "Feature update to Windows 10, version 21H1" (KB5010415) from Windows Update and it seemed to have fixed it.

    Today and Yesterday Microsoft "Feeds" was taking more than 30 GB of ram!!!
    It was literally making my entire PC super slow to where it could damage the PC.
    Why on earth does Feed need 30 GB of ram, and why is this program so unoptimized???
