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.

    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.

    This just happened to me as well. Using up all of my 64GB of RAM and full Disk usage. I run Windows 10 Pro 64 bit on an AMD Ryzen 9 5900X with a Radeon RX 6600 XT GPU. So it can't be the NVidea drivers causing this. Tried upgrading to Windows 11, but was rejected because my WD M2 Disk does not supprt the required safe boot functionality...

    Same issue happened with me on 2/21/22

    feeds was taking up 97% of my Ram and pc was barely running, but as soon as I quit feeds my pc was smooth sailing.

    Same here. I got 32GB RAM and this application just ate up almost all of the memory. My game crashed because of this. My PC is Alienware Aurora R9 with Intel i7 9700, 32GB RAM, nvdia RTX 2070 super, Windows 10 Pro most updated. (not upgrading to Win 11 because the Start menu on it sucks.)
