Same thing here, was up to 90% utilization. I just ended the process and turned off the news feed, hopefully it stays gone.
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.

2022-03-18T06:49:22+00:00 Was working in Maya and had this happen to me hardcore, first it minimized my screen to 800 resolution on a 32 inch wide curved monitor. Crashed Maya before I could save, and had feeds take up 95% of my 64 gb corsair DDR4 Ram. I have a 3080 ti graphics card with a 11900k intel cpu if anyone was wondering if it was hardware issue, which seems unlikely.

2022-03-18T06:58:42+00:00 i have 32gb of ram and a brand new ryzen 7, windows was installed on this PC somewhat recently and there are no programs that should affect the system in any meaningful way. the random ram usage spiked during a video game and had no slight increase over time.

2022-03-18T14:06:40+00:00 Same issue for me as well! I suspended the process but why is windows search function using ALL my RAM? My gaming laptop also has an NVIDIA video card....is it something with that? How do I stop it from doing this again?
