I see many posts about how to disable the Recall "feature".
However, there's only one effective way to permanently disable it: stop using Windows.

... and if You use Windows only as a game console - this seems to work:

C:> dism /Online /Disable-Feature /FeatureName:Recall

I also always install and run Debloat Scripts after Windows install to kill all Telemetry or Cortana bullshit.

@[email protected] there are just too many reasons, that will make it not possible. Mostly software support.

@[email protected] that would be great, unless your employer has a "bring your own device" (if you'd like to do home office), and they require you to install Citrix, and recommended Windows laptops

Anyway: still looking for a good resource on how disable all the tracking, ehm, "cool features" of Windows11 ๐Ÿ˜“

@[email protected] Won't work. Not if you, eg, continue to send email to recipients who use Windows.

And unfortunately, to be properly secured against your info being snapped...stop interacting with anyone using windows, a much harder proposition. Still, we do what we can.

@[email protected] Exactly! Stop using Windows. FreeBSD and Linux are solid alternative operating systems.
