Disable the Recall Feature in Windows 11 24H2

[@stevesstuff1450]

Thanks for this... 👍🏻 Microsoft could be treading a legal tightrope with this; hiding a 'feature' on PC's that the average user isn't aware of - a 'feature' that caused a large controversy when announced, and so was back-pedalled on, with Microsoft stating that it would be Disabled by default.... Then they go and shove it out quietly in an update, and it's enabled!! 😳 Even if the PC in question isn't a CoPilot PC, who knows what it's doing as it's sitting there in the background; is it still cataloging everything you do anyway? Maybe phoning it home to Microsoft? Very suss....😩

This is the most informative video by far.

this what every one must know how specially at these days and this time situation thank you so much

[@MohammedAli-fs7kv]

It is hopeless at this point, it is like making do with a thief to stay in your bedroom while you enjoy the toilet. Recall the OS and install Linux.

[@chrisgibbs612]

I have a win 10 laptop. After last update when I reboot I am asked to sign into recall. I DO NOT WANT RECALL.

thnaks fore sharing this video

Thats illegal in EU

[@MintyMove]

Thank you! I dont know why i havent switched to windows yet

[@myrthless]

I like the Microsoft Recall feature.

[@sdwone]

October 2025... Linux Mint!!! Here I come!!! 😊

[@methanoid]

format c: /s install Linux.... Or just dont install Win11 and stick to Win10.... (better than that install Win10 LTSC).

[@TechnoMinded-qp5in]

I would rather regular Windows 10 it makes no difference Valve normally gives you a while to decide to upgrade I'm holding off on Linux because of software laying is preventing me to switch and not even wine can help solve the issue it's too early for the Linux take over if Windows software developers don't pitch in.

[@subieasunayuuki]

Windows 11 is still more usable than Linux. Or you can use Windows 11 with third party customisation apps and MS forces things upon us, find a way to adapt

[@OdysseusofLethe]

Microsoft made an update to windows 10, the update installs recall

[@ContemplativeCat]

@@subieasunayuuki More usable than Linux? Hahahaha! Not in 2024 sunshine. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@GodLakshya777]

Kb did you found any solution to permanently install or disable edge or it's services

[@lucid227]

Wouldn't temporarily removing RAM so there's < 16GB when installing 24h2 prevent recall installation? Would adding it back later result in automatic recall install or not?

[@christophernoble8112]

ill add windows back onto my computers the day Microsoft gives its users the same ability to snoop thru there systems and servers .. maby take a screenshot of every one of there computers every 5 seconds and put it onto a public access site .. ideas for Anonymous to back engineer for public transparency .

[@henson2k]

not a cool feature, it's a spyware

[@mategamer20]

ty i didn't know 10 year intel Pentium had that i disabled it

[@nithishnagendra]

i ran one of the commands , it says windows feature not recognized for me , am i doing something wrong or?

[@frankyvee1]

Are you on 24H2 version?

[@nithishnagendra]

@@frankyvee1 i don"t think so

[@kilObit]

its only on 24H2

[@ContemplativeCat]

You all continue using Windows no matter what shit Microsoft does. It has never been easier to switch to Linux, so I have absolutely no sympathy at all.

[@softwarephil1709]

I’ve made a very good living writing and selling Windows software. I have NO interest in switching to Linux. I like Windows.

[@chrisgibbs612]

@ContemplativeCat Enjoy it while you can. Everyone is ditching microslop and is going linux now. Very soon you will only have a couple of old grannies buying your software. Microcrap is dying fast.

[@chrisgibbs612]

Sorry i tag wrong person ..... sorry. Cant edit.

[@john_doe1st]

​@@chrisgibbs612doubt that.

[@christianjohannesen6292]

in Eu you can uninstall it

[@ucchuman]

windows is becoming like chrome. thanks to your linux videos, i switched to antix linux and its great. but that's just me i like minimal UI and minecraft. my i3 is working like i7.

[@paulhendey1501]

May have nertz it. On web i found the name and location of Recall data folder. I created it and restricted access.

[@paulhendey1501]

Did similar to get rid of Edge. Delete Microsoft program folder. Create new folder, restricted permissions, renamed it Microsoft.

[@MyrLin8]

doesn't mean it's off, only that you can't see and track it. everyone gets it, want it or not.

[@pavansvvs]

You don't show After Results..Did it Break Explorer..?

[@kilObit]

bruhh not on disabled state.. only if you remove it

[@ArthurBaczewski1969]

I have Windows 11 24H2 with no recall.

[@oday_wasel]

I have some news for you Maybe you going to like to make a video about it Chad GPT finally have an app on Microsoft store

[@john_doe1st]

Lol ground breaking

[@MFFred-cj2qh]

I still didn't get how it breaks the file explorer because I haven't seen anything unusual yet after disabling the feature.

[@kilObit]

no it happens if you remove it

[@Epic3032]

I wonder, if you can run these commands upon fresh install of 24H2? I'm still on 23H2 till my system starts playing up i'll install 24H2

[@kilObit]

i dont think you can

[@Epic3032]

@@kilObit hmmm what if you used tools like NtLite for example?

[@damolin77]

No you can't. You cant disable something that's not there because the command will comeback as invalid.

[@dwanoid5042]

@@damolin77 Oh 23H2 didn't have recall?

[@None17555]

This isn't anything to get too excited about. There are a variety of reasons from a development perspective that they would put a 'feature' that doesn't do anything on an unsupported installation. They could put the compatibility check inside that service, which means not including it in Explorer. That minimizes the risk that updates to Explorer won't break on one architecture and/or removes the need to maintain two versions of Explorer.

[@bruceharrip]

Ms lied.

[@soham5174]

This is a disaster not a feature

[@davinp]

Recall is only on Copilot+ PC, so if you upgrade your old machine from 23H2 to 24H2, it won't have recall

[@geoman1420]

On my old unsupported laptop upgraded with 24H2, Recall is enabled by default....

[@davinp]

@@geoman1420 yes, this is interesting as Micrsoft says it requires Copilot+ PCs, but as this video shows we've found it enabled on our PCs

[@Bart0815-k8r]

Not true any more. Please check your facts.

[@okithmoksha1809]

I like this feature (except using 50GB) It would be nice if I could use this on my PC
