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.

    Jeremy,

    it's optional / preview Win 10 update. If you want to give it a try although not visible in offered updates, download it manually from Microsoft Update Catalog

    Most likely 64b for latest Win 10 version ( 2022-02 Cumulative Update Preview for Windows 10 Version 21H2 for x64-based Systems ) will be the one for you.

    I've disabled the news and interests feature and also download those windows feature updates and the issue hasn't presented itself since.

    My nvidia drivers are also up to date. Thank you.

    I noticed this issue the other day, I opened task manager and saw that Feeds was using nearly all of the 32gb of memory. I ended the task and didn't see any issues since then, until early this morning when I turned on my computer. Feeds was using almost all of my memory again, so after browsing some of the replies on here I decided to disable news feeds.

    It's not even a feature I really care about and all it's doing is being a real nuisance. I have not seen it do this until the latest update from several days ago.
