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.

Not a permanent fix but hope this helps some other people out.
Windows 10 home version 21H2 with Nvidia driver version 511.79
Hardware:
AMD Ryzen 7 3800X
32 G Ram
2 TB M.2
EVGA 3090 Geforce RTX FTW 3
I was running Precision x1, Logitech G hub with battlenet and steam at the time of the massive feeds pull.
this also happened to me today while watching youtube
the whole system just froze and it unfroze after a bit.
i tought it was from an app opened soo i closed discord
still the same issue then the screen turned black a few times.
i tried closing chrome before looking into task manager
and right when i looked in it my disk and ram usage was pinned at 100% both.
i have no idea how did that happen soo i scrolled down to see which app was doing that wierd behavior and it was feeds.
after i ended the task windows was lagging a bit and right now while im typing this message its still lagging.
i have no idea what happened and how this happened.
Wow you are absolutely correct, after killing the process I tried hovering on the News and Feeds tab and again it started eating up all my ram until I killed the process again, I turned it off for now as a temporary solution and it hasn't happened again yet.
Same thing here and don't have a Nvidia card.
Asus Strix G15 Advantage Edition. All AMD. Still on Windows 10.
Got an update and about an hour later noticed my fans spinning up. Checked task manager and feeds was using all the ram and made a 100 gb temporary file that I was looking for, but my computer locked up before I could find it. The space was back after the reboot.
After reboot the only update for today I found was KB5010472.
Turned off News and Interests and haven't had a problem yet.
🤦 I ran into that yesterday and thought that it was a problem with the wireless mouse itself. It wasn't until everything froze up again this morning that I opened up Task Manager and found the search app using up all of my CPU, RAM, and Disk bandwidth. I suppose that I shouldn't be too hard on MS, though; they've only had 36 years to figure out how to make Windows not get in the way of running programs on it. I'm sure that they'll get it any decade now.
