Feeds / Search application using all of the ram

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.

    Experienced the same issue today. Booted my system up and went to open a browser before it began to stutter. It was using spiking RAM usage to 97%. I was able to kill the task and disable the news feed from the taskbar.

    AMD Ryzen 9 3900X
    32GB RAM
    Nvidia 3080Ti (ver 51.79 drivers)
    OS 19043.1586

    Version 21H1

    I just had this problem happen to me right now. I'm running a very similar build but my GPU is Asus ROG STRIX 3090. My OS is a newer version too 19044.1526. I was just browsing on Chrome when everything started to lag out so I checked task manager and noticed that search was using all my ram.

    Also happened to me, took up 99% of my 32GB Intel RAM with Xeon. How is this a real problem in a real stable build? I'm at a loss

    I started getting this memory issue after changing my Windows Region Settings to the US, I set it back to my current location (Country-Region and regional format) and the issue has not happened again. I suppose it had some weird interaction with Windows location services, news and weather polling.
