I have 128GB RAM and suddenly I am out or RAM, and it is the SearchApp that took 122GB or RAM. Hey, MSFT, fix that bug!

This SearchApp.exe is literally making my other apps crash because of the amount of resources it is using... How about what ever the heck you all did to this... roll it back...

press start key , type "MSCONFIG", select startup , disable cortana and microsoft EDGE, restart cpu . this will disable the search app exe from using the microphone and camera from all your search browser actions performed on your cpu
