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.

    So it appears that this may also be related to Edge.

    I opened a new tab in Edge and in the top right corner clicked on the 'settings' wheel then on 'Custom'

    I deactivated basically everything in that window.
    Then I clicked on 'Content' at the bottom a selected "Content off"

    Restarted my computer and the feeds process now shows as 'suspended' and uses 0kb

    Image

    Hopefully this helps someone out, or helps get to the bottom of why this is happening.

    Cheers,

    DC

    I had this problem too and at least for me it seems to be some sort of memory leak involving the news and interests segment of the task bar. (The thing that shows you the weather and news) As soon as I clicked on it I saw my memory usage steadily climb without stopping, as soon as I turned it off my memory usage went back to normal.

    I have not installed the KB5010415 cumulative update preview and do not have any 3rd party or protected software

    I run an intel 5820k Processor and an Asus RTX 3070ti gpu with the most current drivers.

    My OS is Windows 10 home 64 bit.

    Well i was also able to end it using the task manager tool. I have no idea what happened and how it happened just like you. But when the incident happened
    my browser didn't crash. But instead my graphics driver did. I had to manually go to the device manager and enable it again. I have no idea how it crashed since the computer is just some months old. This incident happened around 3 days after installing the new windows update.

    HP

    Prozessor Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-6500U CPU , RAM 8,00 GB

    Systemtyp 64-Bit-Betriebssystem, x64-basierter Prozessor

    win 10 19044.1566 (e.g. with Featuerepack 120.2212.4170.0

    last update on 2022-02-16 KB5010415 (19044x-1566

    and KB4023057: Updatedienstkomponenten 2022-02-19

    (Defender update ,today actual)

    I had the same problem. Tasks-Feeds -> Search applikation

    eating up memory after update tox.1566.

    Solved since 220219 before KB4023057 came in

    THIS is what I did:

    1. Kill Search apllication in Taskmanager
    2. Settings - Memory - Tempory Files - (CLEAN UP Updates and ...)
    3. Clean MS-Edge Browser (Settings - History and Cookies)

    or use a cleaner app ( like ccleaner 5,90 , attention - use only when know to handle the app and its settings

    i.E. --> Custom Clean for halting (stop) MS-Edge to be cleaned), Cookies , old IE and System Restore

    Hope it will help.

    Regards Hans

    be safe and many success

    Same thing has been happening to me intermittently, Using up about 13gb out of my 16gb. I don't even know or care what feeds does, I wish there was a way to disable it completely.
