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.

    Hello Bogdan,

    Try this:

    1. right click on taskbar
    2. select news and interests
    3. turn it off

    The issue does not seem to follow a pattern so I do not know how well this 'fix' works.

    I had this issue crop up tonight while playing Overwatch, my PC kept locking up and then I opened task manager, and sure enough Feeds was eating every scrap of memory. I do not have an nVidia card, I'm running an AMD 5500 XT, 16GB RAM, AMD Ryzen 5 2600X CPU. So there goes that theory.

    I've disabled News Feed for now, but this is a ridiculous memory leak.

    Loaded up windows 10 today and had the same issue "feed" was taking up 13gb of ram - not sure about a fix but if anyone was wondering for now while everyone is waiting.

    Right click task bar > News and Interests > Turn off - more of an avoidance than a fix but better then nothing for now!

    Could be drivers. I’m running a pretty non-standard graphics card Quadro p4000 and nvidias 3d application drivers for 3d modeling in solid works and master cam respectively.
