Every new windows version, there's new things to disable

Nobody needs this, nobody asked for it.
Just why?? Why is this Recall available?
Its horrible!

[terminsane]

Copilot agrees that it is a crime for microsoft to install copilot without anyones consent. It says we have legal recourse via FCC fines and class action lawsuits.

In a perfect world big business and everyone else would stop buying/using anything Microshaft and just watch them disappear.

[Cyberbrickmaster]

Finally someone being helpful on how to avoid Recall, instead of just fear mongering people with no helpful advice whatsoever! There's already too many of those on Youtube right now!

[HVPROEternal]

If independent developers have made apps for blocking edge and windows updates there should be some coders soon to develop ways to even disable the NPU 🤣

You forgot the most important method:
Exorcism.

Windows recall is the perfect example of a cool and novel idea that no one asked for nor want.

[RRRRRRRRR]

It's absurd this feature even exists, literally shoving crude "AI" down on our throats

[emwjmannen]

I cant see this option anywhere, and I have windows 11. WTF I am supposed to do?

[AzerielKai]

can soemone tell me what settings to turn off other than this one?

[Simat_]

Windows 11, now with fully integrated spyware. And they market it has a feature on top of that.

You spent 1:25 seconds to NOT open the window or show where it is. You can't search for this Recall & Snapshots settings page, so this entire video is useless.

[andrewdupuis]

i cant disble it it dont show on mine

[RobertoRiveraDesu]

how can we be sure that with this microsoft will stop to snoop into our private files and everything we domon our pc's

[Meoknet]

Will you be able to specify the storage location? I don't mind giving Recall a try but not on my SSD. Writing a new screenshot every 5 seconds sounds like a nightmare for an SSD which has a read/write life.

[KeithFox]

In Privacy and Security" I do not see a setting at all for "Recall & Snapshots"

[BurnerShiro]

Will I need to sign up to my microsoft account to access it? I don’t see it on my computer

[SMEARGLEX]

If I don't have the Windows AI Folder, what do I do?

[gxh]

I don’t have windows AI folder. What’s up with that?
