This just in: Microsoft may not have been telling the whole truth when they said Recall would only be coming to “Copilot+” PCs. Fellow creator Chris Titus has shared his findings that not only is that not the case, but that it is allegedly a mandatory dependency for the Windows (File) Explorer.
Recall itself also appears to be a mandatory feature: the company’s own Brandon LeBlanc (Sr. Product Manager of Windows, Microsoft) confirmed that the uninstall option that appeared in the Insider previews is a bug.
With many issues yet to be properly addressed, Microsoft’s Recall feature appears to remain unpopular among cybersecurity experts and the Windows user base.
