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.
