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.

    SearchApp.exe, as its name suggests, is an executable associated with Windows search functions. SearchApp.exe was used to search inside Cortana and Windows 10 in previous builds of Windows 10. But later, (with Windows 10 version 2004), Microsoft merged this executable file with Windows search functions.

    I dont use Nvidia drivers, Im running AMD, my BF runs Nvidia and we both have this issue. Its not that. so I checked on my laptop, it uses intel graphics and it also has the same issue. both computers use different anti-virus's different 3rd party software none have the same software at all EXCEPT for windows 10. that is the ONLY thing they have in common. I read up on another thread that it was something to do with windows microsoft edge. but I removed that from one of the computers and the problem is still there. cannot remove internet explorer to test if its that. but this is certainly an issue with windows.

    Yes I was thinking it might be something like that.
