Microsoft confirms that Windows 11 Recall AI is not optional — a glitch made it appear so in the Windows 11 24H2 KB5041865 update | Tom’s Hardware

Microsoft clarified that the Windows 11 24H2 update, KB5041865, did not introduce the ability to uninstall the Recall feature through the “Turn Windows features on or off” dialog, identifying this as a bug that will be rectified. Once officially launched, Recall will allow users to disable it, but complete removal will not be an option. Microsoft has faced regulatory pressures in the EEA that previously compelled it to offer uninstallation options for Microsoft Edge. The rollout of Recall has been delayed due to mixed reception and security concerns. Starting next month, Microsoft will enable Copilot+ on PCs for Windows Insiders, but concerns arise if users can only disable it rather than completely uninstall it, potentially affecting its acceptance in corporate or government settings. A bug fix update is anticipated, and the Copilot feature will include the Copilot Screenray feature, which offers real-time analysis of desktop content but raises privacy concerns. It is important for Microsoft to ensure that users can securely disable or remove these features.

These new Windows Recall features are hidden in the latest build of Windows 11

Microsoft is testing new features for Windows Recall, including a Screenray feature that allows users to analyze what is on their screen without opening the full Recall experience. Recall was set to ship with Copilot+ PCs but was delayed due to public backlash and privacy concerns. The latest Windows 11 Insider build includes hidden changes to Recall, such as a new home page that organizes snapshots into topics and a timeline of previous snapshots. Microsoft is working on improving Recall's security and plans to gather feedback from the public through the Windows Insider Program. Trust in Microsoft regarding Recall is low, with over 76% of readers expressing distrust in a recent poll.
