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.

    Yo, just had this happen to my PC too. I was just watching videos and it crashed chrome with 99% RAM usage.

    Specs are:

    Ryzen 9 5900x

    EVGA RTX 3080

    32GB RAM

    ASUS motherboard

    Can we get an update to fix this? I try and avoid updates so stuff like this doesn't happen and funnily enough, it has when I was forced to update.

    You SHOULD leave MINIMAL paging file on your system drive so that debug info can be written in case of problems. Depending on your config, some 16 MB should do for small dump.

    So far this helped me. I’ve got a Dell Inspiron 15 5000 (64-bit, 8GB RAM, running Windows 10 Home, Intel drivers? Sorry, I’m not the best at all the specs) that appeared to have updated Windows, and afterwards the Feeds process was taking up >85% of my RAM and slowing/crippling my computer. I disabled News & Interests, had to End Task on Feeds to do just about anything else, and was finally able to check for updates and it found the KB5010415 update. After restarting/updating, the Feeds process came back in task manager at startup, but a leaf popped up beside it saying the UWP process group was suspending the process to improve performance, and the Feeds process shortly thereafter disappeared. So far seems to be working better now.
