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.

    No I got the Feeds to stop using the ram by restarting Server in services but getting errors in event viewer about the DCOM server and now the PC shut down when failing to wake up from hibernate.

    Upon investigation it is definitely the News and Feeds tab on the taskbar. Upon first boot the news and feeds initiates and the memory usage ramps up, it quiets down after a few seconds. Then I deliberately clicked on the News and Feeds icon on the taskbar. The memory usage immediately started ramping up and within 2mins it used all of my 16 gb of memory.

    The new update to the taskbar feature seems to be the cause and crashes the system eventually.
