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.

    I installed the "Feature update to Windows 10, version 21H1" (KB5010415) from Windows Update and it seemed to have fixed it.

    Today and Yesterday Microsoft "Feeds" was taking more than 30 GB of ram!!!
    It was literally making my entire PC super slow to where it could damage the PC.
    Why on earth does Feed need 30 GB of ram, and why is this program so unoptimized???

    I just had the same thing happen on my computer.

    A Windows update occurred and then this happened, definitely something dodgy is the latest update. I hope Microsoft look into it asap.

    Killing the Feeds process in Task Manager resolved the issue but it shouldn’t have been consuming so much ram and disk in the first place.

    Thanks,

    Rebecca

    I had this issue crop up tonight while playing Overwatch, my PC kept locking up and then I opened task manager, and sure enough Feeds was eating every scrap of memory. I do not have an nVidia card, I'm running an AMD 5500 XT, 16GB RAM, AMD Ryzen 5 2600X CPU. So there goes that theory.

    I've disabled News Feed for now, but this is a ridiculous memory leak.
