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.

    Just an update to my problem:

    I dont know if MS did something but for mine the process in question is now marked as "suspended for system performance improvement", and no longer affects me.

    Maybe there is an update MS released that helped? Altho I did not manually install any updates, maybe it was an auto update I don't know.

    Same issue here.

    This issue does not appear to be hw dependent so I will not post the specs.

    This has been happening since February and continues today (all WU patches applied to Win10 pro).

    I would like to know if updating to win11 will fix this - with certainty.

    Thanks

    Happened to me today. Came back to my PC after turning it on and going to eat some breakfast. Noticed everything was running incredibly slowly and that it would constantly stop responding to load. Opening up Task Manager after a bit of a struggle and yes it was Feeds that was eating up all my CPU and RAM. Never had this happen before but looks like it's a pretty recent issue so I blame some sorta background Microsoft update breaking PC's again.

    Specs:
    Windows 10 Pro
    Intel Core i5-7400
    16GB RAM
    256GB SSD System
    1TB HDD + 1TB SSD
    Nvidia GTX 1060 3GB (Latest drivers version 512.15 installed.)

    Happened to me today while I was using Chrome and Discord. I noticed something was wrong when everything kept crashing and then saw that Feeds was consuming so much RAM. I've never used all 32 GB of my ram before and this is new. As I'm writing this, my computer has been on for 32 minutes. I built this computer last June and the parts are all new.

    Specs:

    Windows 10 Education

    AMD CPU 5900x

    32 GB RAM

    Samsung SSD 980 PRO 500 GB as my C: drive (with my system on this one)

    Samsung SSD 860 EVO M.2 1 TB as my D: drive

    NVIDIA RTX 3090 (I have the latest Geforce Game Ready Driver Installed - Version 512.15)
