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.

    Hi, im Kiet

    Looks kinda similar to my old PC, but my ram never fill up to more than 50%

    if your processor is a multi core processor, you can enable them all in msconfig advanced boot config menu

    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.

    +1 for this issue. All 8GB was eaten by the Feeds process on my Dell Inspiron 15-3567, and my laptop blue screened. Killing the process was a temporary solution.

    Device name BASH-LAPTOP

    Processor Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-7500U CPU @ 2.70GHz 2.90 GHz

    Installed RAM 8.00 GB (7.87 GB usable)

    Product ID [redacted]

    System type 64-bit operating system, x64-based processor

    Pen and touch No pen or touch input is available for this display

    I tried to enable Feeds again two days ago and it hasn't had any ram leakage since..

    Things I've done:

    1. Restarting "Server" in Services
    2. Disabling it in task manager
    3. Enabling it again, It didn't use any ram at that point but gave som errors in the event viewer
    4. Windows did some installation mentioning search app
    5. Changed language in the news tab which had changed after that installation
    6. Ran sfc /scannow which found some corrupted files which it fixed and I restarted the PC after that

    Havn't had any memory leak or errors in event viewer since, been about 1-2 days clean..

    Time to start cleaning bloatware from windows i guess.

    How did you remove it from your registry and System 32 folder?
