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.

Kinda sucks it's not available straight from the update menu and must searched it manually, no wonder my laptop is freezing and got like 0.00001 Fps on Idling. I got 6 years old laptop and this problem could've killed my laptop.
Gonna download the updates manually and hope it fixed it
Thought I'd post my experience. Knew right off the bat that it felt like a memory leak, first noticed it last night. Entire computer froze and was moving at 1 fps every 5 seconds. Restarted and nothing went wrong so thought nothing of it. Happened again earlier today and decided to check task manager before it got too slow. Sure enough it was the feeds using 99% of ram usage on a 32gb of ram/AMD 5950x. Ended that task and everything went fine. I disabled the news on the taskbar and so far nothing. Definitely reminded me why I hate Microsoft updates.
Could it be to do with the malicious software removal tool update that tooke place on the 8th feb? Loooking through the feed it appears everyone had the same update on the 8th feb and when i looked at the properties of feeds.exe it said it was created on the 8th of february, the same day i updated my computer. I'm assuming its maybe a bug in the code. Fingers crossed.
PS I am on an NVidia driver.
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 had the exact same experience at first, I found out that Feeds has something to do with the Server service in Services app. I restarted that service and it sort of fixed the Feeds problem but the server is still giving warning and errors in event viewer. Not really sure what the source of the problem is because I'm finding a lot of different problems.
I also installed the Windows update which didn't do anything with the event viewer problem.
