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.

It happened after i restarted my drivers, (CTRL + SHIFT + WIN + B) It took a whopping amount of 2GB ram and i dont think its a virus because i bootscanned and full scanned my computer twice also removing every single one of my exclusions. Does anyone know what is going on?
i just got my brand new pc, and the same happened to me performance dropped on idle usage, and i found that "search and interests" is using all my 16gb ram. and had the same doubts, its a breach, or microsoft is using its marketing data collection aggressively, even though i turn them all off as much as i can. anyone know how we can uninstall\disable it?
If you kill the feeds process in taskmanager and turn off the news feeds on the taskbar so it doesnt run when windows starts you should be fine, restart computer after you done that and check taskmanager and make sure the feeds process isnt running anymore.
Just turn off the feeds/news widget so it doesnt run anymore, then kill the process in the taskmanager and restart computer. As long as the news feeds is turned off and not running on the taskbar you should be fine.
Just kill the process in the taskmanager and then turn off the feeds widget so it doest start up next time you reboot your computer, then reboot your computer and you should be fine.
