Microsoft is gradually rolling out the AI-powered Windows Recall feature to Insiders in the Release Preview channel before making it generally available to all Windows users with Copilot+ PCs.
Recall is an opt-in Windows feature that screenshots active windows every few seconds, analyzes them, and allows Windows 11 users to search text within the snapshots using natural language.
As the Windows Insider Program Team said on Thursday, Recall can be paused whenever needed and will only allow access to the data it captures after authenticating via Windows Hello.
Is now, always has been, and always will be a bad idea, a security nightmare, and of benefit only to M$ and its so-called “AI” offerings…
Should be permanently disabled on all systems, particularly on corporate systems.

The more users on Linux, the more commercial software will target it. Can already get Davinci Resolve and Autodesk Maya. Drive traffic to see more
Does it have Linux Recall yet?
Not yet, not enough traffic has been driven. Hang in there.
Windows is getting worse by the minute, I think the transition to an alternative OS like Linux is inevitable.
‘opt in’
Yeeeaa i don’t believe that for one damned minute.
Of course it is opt in. Why would it not be? Microsoft have opted in automatically on your behalf. Soon you will only be able to opt in, for your convenience, as too many people were accidentally opting out. /s
It’s opt-in in the same way the Co-pilot that one day just appeared installed on your computer was opt-in. /s
Oh yes. Next update it will be opt-out. Then they will change the opt-out mechanism while all data will be sent to MS servers.
As much as everyone seems to hate Recall, I really appreciate it. It was the final push I needed to go to Linux full time. Have been on Linux for 6 months now and can’t imagine going back to windows.
