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 problem, this happened just a moment ago. I think this app comes from News and interest, it's on the taskbar and takes up 21GB of RAM. We should blame this file (C:\Windows\SystemApps\Microsoft.Windows.Search_xxxxxxxxxxxxx\SearchApp.exe) for its naughty behavior.

    Is this issue taken seriously by Microsoft?
