Despite promising to filter personal data out, Recall still captures it.
Man the first hackers to get their hands on that data are gonna get rich. Blackmail material, personal details, banking information, passwords, everything you could want.
Microsoft really cares about security
As long as it doesn’t get in the way of money
Every year I’m happier and happier that I touch MS products only when paid to do so.
How happy are you to know your personal data is still going to be leaked because 90% of the services handling it are using MS Backdoor OS? If it’s not going to be your bank it will be your work, if not your work, then it will be your government, and there will be no consequences because “nobody ever got fired for buying Microsoft®”™.
Same my only experience with windows (and w11) is at work (exception being my vr flight sim pc).
Is this a joke comment? Your experience is playing on MS OS, a flight sim which, assuming it’s the Flight Simulator, periodically sends data back and forth? on top of using it at work.
This this more of a byproduct of the design than anything.
Its almost like this was a bad idea to begin with.
We all saw that coming.
Is there a way to turn this off?
DISM /Online /Disable-Feature /FeatureName:Recall
Run that from an administrator terminal (right click start menu and select Terminal (Administrator)). You can also do it from Settings > Privacy > Recall.
Those are the Microsoft-approved ways. If you don’t trust them, you can also just download a new iso and completely rip it off before install using something like ChrisTitus’ microWin.
Thanks for mentioning microWin. A tool I didn’t know I needed. I figured none had been made since XP’s Tweaks.
You’re welcome. Just keep in mind that removing Recall from the W11 ISO apparently also reverts Explorer to the W10 version.
