How to turn off Windows’ aging activity tracker

While waiting for Windows’ Recall feature, you may want to turn off your activity tracker.

In Microsoft’s support page, it asserts that your activity history will no longer be used in current versions of Windows 11. The first states: “The option to send activity history to Microsoft has been deprecated from Windows 11 23H2 and 22H2, January 23, 2024-KB5034204 update,” while the second adds that you can either clear your history manually (using the above method) or just wait because “your activity history will be automatically deleted within 30 days from when your data was last synced to the cloud.” So whether or not you decide to go in and manually deactivate your Activity history depends on how much you trust Microsoft.
