Microsoft Windows Recall

Windows Recall is a Windows feature that records screenshots during your computer use, extracts any texts and stores them in a separate database, and allows you to browse this history, see Microsoft Windows 11: Retrace your steps with Recall.

The AI in use for this feature is running locally. Manually defined websites can be excluded from recording, and you can temporarily disable this feature.

We regard this as a privacy nightmare – you wouldn’t run around with a camera recording your real live 24/7, right? – and have added it’s disabling as a recommendation to the software.
