Sigh, I'm gonna pirate windows superlite or something, because I have the same problem here on Windows 10 Professional. Is this some tactic to force everyone over to Windows 10?
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.

2022-09-15T22:09:24+00:00 Lovely. - Getting the exact same thing here.
Why is this "Search Application" thing now ruining my processing power the point where it repetitively crashes my PC?
Can a Multi-Billion £££ company not set up an OS without something this egregious occurring?
Is something actually being done or are they hoping that it'll magically go away without them actually putting effort in to fix it?

2022-09-07T21:33:39+00:00 I have the same problem. Search application eats so much RAM that other applications (and sometimes Windows too) are crashing because there's no more RAM to allocate. This means that I can't leave my PC unattended, because some long running processes might crash because of Windows itself.
