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.

    there is no Solution, just like your Toxic ranting wasnt a solution. I scoured the web looking for the solution, tried every hack. Only way to fix this is for Microsoft to disabled it. Disabled Cortana and still no luck. and then the next set of updates came out and undid everything.. so good luck.. maybe try not to be so rude next time youre looking for an answer.

    PS.. Others getting involved helps to paint a bigger picture of the situation. I learned a lot from ALL the different people posting they had the same issue. I learned the ONLY thing everyone has in common is Windows.. thats the software that it comes from. I even learned exactly what folder Search Application can be found in. But as I said. each patch undoes any attempts at ending it. so take your toxic personality and aim it in Microsofts direction. Good Luck

    SearchApp.exe, as its name suggests, is an executable associated with Windows search functions. SearchApp.exe was used to search inside Cortana and Windows 10 in previous builds of Windows 10. But later, (with Windows 10 version 2004), Microsoft merged this executable file with Windows search functions.
