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.

    Turning off worked for me as well - seems like the only 'fix' that I have seen.

    I've had the EXACT thing happen, I was watching a video on youtube and suddenly it crashed saying 'Out of Memory', so I check the task manager and the Feeds process was taking up 31GB!

    I turned off the feeds in the options, so far it hasn't happened again.

    Hi, I was playing today and the game crashed saying that memory was full, so I checked and had same issue, search app was using all ram space.

    I updated windows recently and not noticed this problem before today.

    I have ryzen 7 3800x and Nvidia 3070

    Windows 10 update was forced on my laptop without my approval after I put laptop in hibernation.

    When I booted it up and started Brave browser it locked up & mouse & everything locked up. Finally got to Task Master and found FEEDS, Search Application was rapidly increasing RAM usage. Ended task at over 9 GB RAM usage.

    Version 10.0.19043 Build 19043

    Dell System Model G5 5590

    Processor Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-9750H CPU @ 2.60GHz, 2592 Mhz, 6 Core(s), 12 Logical Processor(s)

    Installed Physical Memory (RAM) 16.0 GB

    Name NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 Ti

    At the time of problem the system was downloading update for Alienware - again without my permission.
