Microsoft isn’t secretly installing Recall on your Windows PC


Microsoft says Recall will be opt-in and you can uninstall it.

Recall still isn’t even available to test yet on Copilot Plus PCs, but some good old fashioned fear, uncertainty, and doubt is spreading about Microsoft supposedly secretly installing it on the latest version of Windows 11. IT manager and YouTuber Chris Titus first discovered that Microsoft’s latest update to Windows 11, version 24H2, has references to Recall that confusingly make it seem like it’s enabled in the operating system. “Microsoft has an ungodly complex and long winded system for integrating development changes into a mainline build, parts of the optional-izing work were most likely not merged at once, and thus produce crash loops in very specific scenarios that slipped testing,” explains Albacore.
