Windows 11’s Recall feature finally rolls out to AMD and Intel Copilot+ PCs – here’s how to try it

Windows 11’s Recall feature is now available on all Copilot+ PCs with AMD and Intel processors, expanding from its initial exclusivity to Arm-based Snapdragon devices. The latest update, build 26120.2510, introduces both Recall and the Click to Do features, which are currently in a testing phase. Recall is an AI-driven search tool that helps users locate files using snapshots and natural language search. Microsoft has made privacy and security adjustments to Recall based on user feedback. The Click to Do feature allows quick actions with text or images from snapshots.

Microsoft is struggling to get Windows Recall out the door — delays releasing first public preview

Microsoft has postponed the rollout of the Windows Recall feature, now expected to preview in December instead of October. The feature was initially set to debut alongside Copilot+ PCs in June. The delay is due to security concerns regarding data storage management. Microsoft has identified significant vulnerabilities and is reassessing its launch timeline, having already delayed the feature for four months. When released, Windows Recall will include a robust security framework, with encrypted data and Windows Hello authentication required for access. Users can filter specific applications and websites, with default settings excluding sensitive information. The feature is unlikely to be available beyond the Insider Program until 2025, and the timeline for access on AMD and Intel Copilot+ PCs remains uncertain, with initial previews expected to launch on Snapdragon X devices in November.
