  • I would not count on them telling the truth.

    I checked my Windows 11 work laptop a while ago, and that shit was enabled. Did not see that in any UI, but using command line. Said that shit was enabled and active, but apparently it was not yet doing anything. I will have to check again next time I am firing that machine up again, because I absolutely trust them to re-enable it without my consent, those bottom-feeding scum suckers.

    Obligatory info on how to check and disable recall in Windows 11:

    • Click on the Start button with the right mouse button and select “Terminal (Administrator)” or “Windows PowerShell (Administrator)”, or if necessary log in as administrator and confirm.
    • In the Terminal or PowerShell, enter the command DISM /Online /Get-FeatureInfo /FeatureName:Recall and press the Enter key.
    • If the entry “Enabled” appears next to “State”, the recall function is already activated. In this case, the function can be disabled using the command DISM /Online /Disable-Feature /FeatureName:Recall
    • Close the window.

  • (re)Ditched Windows on my PC a while ago, still have to use Windows at work. Just checked my work laptop running Windows 11 (standard laptop, not a “Copilot+PC”) - sure enough, that Recall shit is installed and active. Disabled it, and made a post in our main company Teams channel with screenshots. Will be interesting to see if there are any reactions to this.

    To find out if it is active in Windows 11, open up ‘cmd’ and use: (typing this from memory, hope it is correct)

    dism /online /get-featureinfo /featurename:Recall

    to disable it, you need a ‘cmd’ instance with admin rights:

    dism /online /disable-feature /featurename:Recall
