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.

    Same issue happened with me on 2/21/22

    feeds was taking up 97% of my Ram and pc was barely running, but as soon as I quit feeds my pc was smooth sailing.

    Same issue after I exited a Lost Ark game today. My CPU usage and memory began to shoot up. It was the Feeds application. Ended the process. Specs:

    1. AMD 5900x
    2. RTX 3080 ti
    3. Latest everything

    Same issue to report - almost out of memory with massive memory leak to 'Feeds - Search application' process - immediately end task from Task Manger. Turned off 'News and interests' in the Taskbar - never asked for it, don't need it either!
