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.

    I'm having the same issue as of today. Norton popped up informing me that my RAM usage was extremely high, which is surprising since I have 80GB OF RAM!!!

    I checked, and feeds was using 68GB of my RAM. This is unacceptable and needs to be fixed ASAP. This is my business computer and I'm a photographer that needs all the RAM I can get.

    Specs:
    Intel I9-11900k @ 3.5GHz

    80 GB RAM

    NVIDIA 3080 FTW3 Ultra Gaming Edition

    Multiple NVME and SSD drives

    I'm joining the chain, folks!

    I was using Discord, and noticed that things were going a bit too slow. Then I noticed that the laptop was rev'ed up like I had a modern video game running. Hit Task Manager and saw Feeds right at the top taking up the free RAM. Had me over 90%. I terminated the process and killed the news function in the taskbar. Seems ok for now.

    I updated my windows after not wanting to update for a few weeks, and now I'm having this same issue, it's clearly the update, don't peg it on something else, (as I've checked this thread) Yeah maybe other software may be a part of it, but if it worked before, you can fix it to work just fine after as I've not changed any of the applications on my PC, only updated. I'd suggest rolling out a new update, because this one clearly doesn't work well with all PC Builds.
