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.

    Feeds isnt an important process after all, it is actually to help the "news and interests" microsoft feature

    Maybe with ryzen 5600x because I have that same cpu and I faced the problem twice. But turns out that feeds is collecting interests of a user or smth like that so probably not Ryzen chipset's fault

    should have listed my specs a few weeks ago for troubleshooting. I have an Intel i9 cpu and got the same symptoms as everyone else. feeds has been disabled for 2 weeks now and no more problems. I may turn it back on in a year or two. we will see.

    Just had this happen to me as well. Put memory usage to 100% and caused system unresponsiveness. It took over a minute to open Task Manager.
