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.

    Maybe with ryzen 5600x because I have that same cpu and I faced the problem twice. But turns out that feeds is collecting interests of a user or smth like that so probably not Ryzen chipset's fault

    And same for me, first time today...

    In my case Firefox stopped working, screen blacked out for some seconds and then Windows reacted again. Checknig Taskmanager I already got the red-warning on RAM usage Feeds using up almost the full 32GB of RAM.

    Killing the process and everything turned back to normal for now.

    Got an Intel i7-8700, an 1070 NVidia GPU and Bitdefender Antivirus running... the system is usually rock-stable for years in daily use. This must be some update installed recently, as I also did not change the software setup otherwise.
    (Zoom updated yesterday... Firefox, Edge and Office 365 did)

    Windows 10 update was forced on my laptop without my approval after I put laptop in hibernation.

    When I booted it up and started Brave browser it locked up & mouse & everything locked up. Finally got to Task Master and found FEEDS, Search Application was rapidly increasing RAM usage. Ended task at over 9 GB RAM usage.

    Version 10.0.19043 Build 19043

    Dell System Model G5 5590

    Processor Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-9750H CPU @ 2.60GHz, 2592 Mhz, 6 Core(s), 12 Logical Processor(s)

    Installed Physical Memory (RAM) 16.0 GB

    Name NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 Ti

    At the time of problem the system was downloading update for Alienware - again without my permission.
