Feeds / Search application using all of the ram

How did you remove it from your registry and System 32 folder?

Don't. Right-click on taskbar - News and Interests - Turn Off is the easiest way:

I tried to enable Feeds again two days ago and it hasn't had any ram leakage since..

Things I've done:

1. Restarting "Server" in Services
2. Disabling it in task manager
3. Enabling it again, It didn't use any ram at that point but gave som errors in the event viewer
4. Windows did some installation mentioning search app
5. Changed language in the news tab which had changed after that installation
6. Ran sfc /scannow which found some corrupted files which it fixed and I restarted the PC after that

Havn't had any memory leak or errors in event viewer since, been about 1-2 days clean..

Time to start cleaning bloatware from windows i guess.

+1 for this issue. All 8GB was eaten by the Feeds process on my Dell Inspiron 15-3567, and my laptop blue screened. Killing the process was a temporary solution.

Hello,

How can I disable the Feeds process?
I've been tracking to track down my brand new computer would occasionally hang, there is basically nothing installed aside from videogames on it.

Usually it's not able to load the Task Manager, but today it was able to before dying.

I noticed the Feeds process using 10 GB of RAM and writing 100MB/sec on my SSD (****?).

I have no idea what is it doing, but I just want it to be shutdown, permanently. I don't care about any of the features provided by it on this machine, I have many other computers and this one should exist only for playing videogames.

I disabled "News and Interests", is there anything I have to do to ensure Feeds process also stays off/do no work?

Notice that it is somewhat connected to Chrome, because when I terminated it, Feeds usage started dropping.

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!

buddy, you should **not** have Virtual Memory / paging enabled for a SSD drive under any circumstances. You'll kill your SSD drive a lot faster even without Microsoft doing its usual thing of messing stuff up and having no idea how they did it.

For the Feed > Search application memory issue, if you haven't already, right click your taskbar, News and interests > Turn off, while they don't shoot a patch to fix this.

As for your Virtual Memory configurations, let's save your SSD, shall we?

Firstly, make sure you're not running anything important before doing this. You'll crash any programs and applications depending on Paging files when you click OK at the end of the process.

Go to Settings and type "performance". Click Adjust the appearance and performance of Windows.

In the next window, click Advanced, then Change...

Then, uncheck "Automatically manage paging file size for all drives", select your SSD drive, check No paging file, then click OK. Again, If you have any process depending on the paging file when you click OK, those processes will crash and you might lose something important. Make sure you're not running anything important before doing this. Preferably do it while ready to reboot your machine. If you have HDD drives connected, you can select them and check System managed size or a custom size for you to keep on having a Paging file enabled on something that won't be ruined by being used as makeshift RAM.

Next, click the rest of the OKs and reboot your machine. There, now you won't waste precious TBW on Virtual Memory and, thus, your SSD won't die too young.
