“But most significantly, Microsoft has made Recall a feature you must opt in to using rather than opt out of using, and it’s possible to remove it completely.”
Didn’t they require one of these bigger upgrades to still get security updates? I thought I read something about 23H2 (or similar) not getting updates anymore.
Also it’s not available on x86-64 CPUs. You need an ARM CPU with an NPU. Microsoft’s reasoning is so that the AI shit can be processed locally to protect your privacy. Apparently they’ve never heard of GPUs before.

Important bit
“Whoopsie, we turned it on for everyone by accident after an update! We made a fucky wucky!”
“Whoopsie, turns out we lied and recall was enabled from the start and just pretended to be off” 😄🤷♂️
“we noticed you uninstall Recall. Probably just an accident. We reinstalled it in an unremovable way and enabled it for you. You’re welcome!”
Edit: autocorrect
😎 Me having set only security updates in my windows, after it tried to install the 24H2 update.
They will claim it’s security based
If they want to pay 2-3 Billions to EU for breaking laws, let them. I will also make so money suing them.

Yeah, 23H2 has updates until November. Pretty funny if you think Windows 10 22H2 ends in October.
only until they find out most people never enable it. Then it will be forced on
For now, anyway. Let’s hope it stays that way.
opt in for now.
Good! In my opinion this entirely changes the feature to acceptable.
