gobbled up all 32 GB of RAM and took to eat the ssd disk, gobbled up 100 GB there too! My ssd drive is failing :(
This process is killing the ssd drive!
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.

2022-02-21T21:29:58+00:00 I read through all the comments here. Looks like it has to do with a Windows update. I noticed the sluggishness, while I was working with a PDF program, Teams, ToDo, Google Chrome, and a few explorer windows open. I typically have this much or more open, so it was odd that it couldn't handle it. Then my browser crashed due to insufficient memory. I checked the task manager and saw that the culprit was Feeds, just like all of you guys, running nearly 100% of available memory and disk space. Fortunately I was able to end the program with Task Manager. After reading through these comments, I also disabled "News and Interests" on my taskbar. Not sure which one did it, or if this condition is permanent, but right now my laptop is back to normal. It shows that my Feeds is suspended to improve system performance, but I'm not sure how that happened. I have not tried manually downloading the latest Windows Update file. Has anybody had lasting success with this?

Dell G7 7700
Intel Core i7-10750H 2.6 GHz

Thanks for everybody who shared their experience with this, and I hope mine helps somebody too.
