After a previous delay, the tech giant has announced that its new Microsoft Recall AI feature will be available for Windows Insiders testing in October.

The highly anticipated AI-powered tool takes screenshots of everything you do on a compatible Windows PC and compiles a database of your actions, allowing you to search through it if needed.

The Recall feature was met with controversy due to security concerns raised by experts and the public. Microsoft attempted to address these issues by making Recall opt-in, but not everyone was convinced. At least one government agency investigated Microsoft over Recall, further highlighting the importance of resolving the cybersecurity concerns surrounding this feature.

When is the Microsoft Recall AI release date?

In October, Windows Insiders will gain access to Microsoft Recall AI, although the exact date remains unspecified. The release is a crucial step for Microsoft as it seeks to implement its innovative technology while ensuring the highest levels of security and privacy protection for users.

As Windows Insiders begin testing Recall in October, they can expect more details about how Microsoft has addressed the security concerns surrounding this feature. With the company’s commitment to leveraging the expertise of its Windows Insider community, we can expect a robust and secure version of Microsoft Recall AI that will ultimately benefit all users.

Need a small recap on how Microsoft Recall AI works? Well let’s take a look at it once again from the introduction video of Microsoft Copilot+ PCs:

Why people were upset with Microsoft Recall AI?

People were upset with Microsoft’s Recall AI for several reasons:

  • Privacy concerns: Users worried about how their data was being collected, stored, and used by the AI system. There were fears that personal information might be misused or exposed.
  • Accuracy issues: The AI might have produced incorrect or biased information, leading to frustration and a lack of trust in its capabilities.
  • Transparency: There was a lack of clear communication from Microsoft about how the AI worked and how decisions were made, which contributed to skepticism and anxiety among users.
  • Ethical and security concerns: There were broader concerns about the ethical implications of AI and its potential impact on security and job displacement.

These issues led to significant backlash from both users and critics, prompting Microsoft to address and manage these concerns more carefully.

How to disable Windows 11 recall feature

If you’re concerned about your privacy and don’t want to be part of Microsoft’s massive data collection experiment, you can disable the Windows 11 Recall feature easily.

Here’s how:

  1. Open settings: Click on the Start menu and select Settings.
  2. Navigate to Privacy & Security: In the Settings panel, click on Privacy & security.
  3. Find and click on Recall: Scroll down until you find the “Recall” option under the “Privacy” section.
  4. Toggle off the switch: Disable the toggle switch next to “Recall” to turn it off.

By following these steps, you can prevent Windows 11 from recording your actions and sending them back to Microsoft. While this may limit the Recall feature’s usefulness, it will also protect your privacy and mitigate potential security risks associated with data collection.

In the end, the release of Microsoft’s Recall feature is an exciting development in the world of technology, offering a unique solution for users who need to recall specific actions or tasks performed on their PCs. While concerns over security have been raised, Microsoft’s commitment to addressing these issues and leveraging its Windows Insider community ensures that a secure and reliable version of Recall will be available soon.
