For some time I feel like my computer is running slow even though it has 8gb of ram. Then I checked my resource monitor and saw SearchApp.exe at using 44 threads and my CPU usage was already at 52%. Please help me out !!

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...

2022-02-21T10:05:02+00:00 Hello,
I faced the same problem with Search app, my computer was not in demand and my CPU and RAM started to be used abnormally in an instant.
So I opened task manager to check what was the process that was using my CPU and 32 GB of RAM and the culprit was Search app (Flux => topicality and field of interest).
Here is what I did to solve my problem with Search app:
1- Open the task manager
2- Develop the Flux application
3- Right click on Search
4- Choose End of task
5- Right click on the taskbar
6- Choose news and field of interest
7- Choose Disabled
8- Do a full scan of your PC with Microsoft Defender Antivirus
9- Restarting the PC
Now I no longer have news and weather, but I no longer have a problem with Search app, my PC is very stable.
That does not bother me.
Search app is broken and uses all CPU/RAM resource without limit.
I hope this can help some people who have a problem with Search app, while waiting for the application to be fixed by Microsoft.
