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.

    this weeks cumulative update was the only change to my system since my wednesday night twitch stream, (downloaded update thursday) and 2 and a half hours in to my stream my OBS and chrome simultaniously crashed. Odd I thought, restarted them, moments later OBS crashed. This isn't right.. restarted it, whole system went black and had to force shutoff.

    I have the same issue as well and i have a ryzen 9 3900x cpu with 32gb coirsair ram gigabyte 3070ti and samsung ssd 1tb and 1tb standard hdd

    i have to leave windows task manager open cause windows search app is becoming a right royal pain for some reason it just decides to eat all my ram and then pc freezes so now when i see my ram get halfway i kill the search process but after so long it starts doing the same thing again and eats all my ram i had to force reset the computer because it became totally unresponsive because of this issue

    When I "End Task", it goes away, then a second later it returns in the processes. Is there a reason this process will not stoop running?
