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.

    this weeks cumulative update was the only change to my system since my wednesday night twitch stream, (downloaded update thursday) and 2 and a half hours in to my stream my OBS and chrome simultaniously crashed. Odd I thought, restarted them, moments later OBS crashed. This isn't right.. restarted it, whole system went black and had to force shutoff.

    I just ran into the same problem the other day

    I thought I had a virus.

    Microsoft still hasn't fixed this bug?

    Just kill the process in the taskmanager and then turn off the feeds widget so it doest start up next time you reboot your computer, then reboot your computer and you should be fine.
