Feeds / Search application using all of the ram

I have the same problem and it's causing some apps to crash. Did a Windows update not long ago, which is the only change that's happened on my computer. The problem is the feeds, and it needs to be fixed.

Thank you, although one word of note, if I'm not wrong, a minimum of 512 MB (maybe was 256 MB) should be kept to ensure system dumps could be stored in case of a crash

Hello,

How can I disable the Feeds process?
I've been tracking to track down my brand new computer would occasionally hang, there is basically nothing installed aside from videogames on it.

Usually it's not able to load the Task Manager, but today it was able to before dying.

I noticed the Feeds process using 10 GB of RAM and writing 100MB/sec on my SSD (****?).

I have no idea what is it doing, but I just want it to be shutdown, permanently. I don't care about any of the features provided by it on this machine, I have many other computers and this one should exist only for playing videogames.

I disabled "News and Interests", is there anything I have to do to ensure Feeds process also stays off/do no work?

Notice that it is somewhat connected to Chrome, because when I terminated it, Feeds usage started dropping.

hey. you made the same mistake of leaving paging files configured for your SSD another guy did. refer to my comment above to turn off the Feed and to prevent your SSD's horrible and untimely death.

I read through all the comments here. Looks like it has to do with a Windows update. I noticed the sluggishness, while I was working with a PDF program, Teams, ToDo, Google Chrome, and a few explorer windows open. I typically have this much or more open, so it was odd that it couldn't handle it. Then my browser crashed due to insufficient memory. I checked the task manager and saw that the culprit was Feeds, just like all of you guys, running nearly 100% of available memory and disk space. Fortunately I was able to end the program with Task Manager. After reading through these comments, I also disabled "News and Interests" on my taskbar. Not sure which one did it, or if this condition is permanent, but right now my laptop is back to normal. It shows that my Feeds is suspended to improve system performance, but I'm not sure how that happened. I have not tried manually downloading the latest Windows Update file. Has anybody had lasting success with this?

My system specs:

Dell G7 7700

Intel Core i7-10750H 2.6 GHz

16 GB Ram

64 Bit

Windows 10

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070

Thanks for everybody who shared their experience with this, and I hope mine helps somebody too.

gobbled up all 32 GB of RAM and took to eat the ssd disk, gobbled up 100 GB there too! My ssd drive is failing :(

This process is killing the ssd drive!
