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.

    FEEDS process is part of the News and Interests function. Right click taskbar, highlight News and Interests, select Turn Off

    Same problems, happens on a daily basis as I startup for the day. If I leave the system running or put it to sleep it doesn't happen again. If I restart multiple times in the same day it doesn't happen either. Only on a new day. I keep ending the process, but this is frustrating. MS please fix this, or let us know a temporary fix asap. Thanks.
