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.

    Just to add to the topic...

    Today I was using Youtube and all of sudden the mouse slowed up as if there was a virus attack. I had noticed pages were buffing before this happened. When it freed up enough to use the mouse I went straight to Task Manager and saw an app or program called "feed" or "search" and it was using +90GB RAM out of 128GB of RAM. I selected end task and it slowly released the RAM it was using. System is running ok right now. That was scary!!!

    This is what I am running:

    Edition Windows 10 Pro

    Version 21H1

    Installed on ‎21/‎09/‎2021

    OS build 19043.1526

    Experience Windows Feature Experience Pack 120.2212.4170.0

    I noticed this issue the other day, I opened task manager and saw that Feeds was using nearly all of the 32gb of memory. I ended the task and didn't see any issues since then, until early this morning when I turned on my computer. Feeds was using almost all of my memory again, so after browsing some of the replies on here I decided to disable news feeds.

    It's not even a feature I really care about and all it's doing is being a real nuisance. I have not seen it do this until the latest update from several days ago.

    Jeremy,

    it's optional / preview Win 10 update. If you want to give it a try although not visible in offered updates, download it manually from Microsoft Update Catalog

    Most likely 64b for latest Win 10 version ( 2022-02 Cumulative Update Preview for Windows 10 Version 21H2 for x64-based Systems ) will be the one for you.

    I have the KB5010415 installed as well and never experienced the memory leak. Comments welcome
