Microsoft enabled the notorious "Recall" with the last update (for Windows 11 copilot+ enabled pcs only). It's part of the OS and can't be uninstalled. This software stores metadata about EVERYTHING that appears on your screen, including passwords/urls/images/videos/any messages you send or emails etc

To disable this gross spyware, run the following as admin on the command line:

Dism /Online /Disable-Feature
/Featurename:Recall

@ciaranmak wasn't recall only on copilot+ pcs?

@agatha @ciaranmak From what I can see it's enabled everywhere but works only on on copilot+ (at least for now). Not as bad as actually having it working without telling, but very suspicious to have it enabled and not being able to disable it without command line.
