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 have the same issue, feeds is using almost 31/32 gigs of my system to the point where everything is practically unusable.

    I think I'm having the same issue too. Just started the afternoon - computer is revving and running so slow at times I can't use it. I've only had it 2-3 months (refurbished) so I haven't added much to it.

    What can we do about this please!!?

    Yes, I just had this happen to me too. I'm on a Ryzen 7 5800x and it used up 15gb/16gb RAM. I just ended the task as well. Hopefully it doesn't come back.

    Ending the SearchApp task has quietened everything down for now - fingers crossed but I'm not feeling too optimistic!

    I've checked my updates too, only one thing updated today (related to Defender Antivirus) and the same cumulative update as you JimmahChongah ( KB5010342) yesterday. Which includes something about the News and Interests feed - is that what Feeds is, which includes the problematic SearchApp? I have no idea with this stuff.
