(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:Recallto disable it, you need a 'cmd' instance with admin rights:
dism /online /disable-feature /featurename:RecallI'm going to check at my work tomorrow too. I'm gonna be quite unhappy if I find it.
Mentioned this in another comment. Take that second dism line, and put it in a batch script and make it a scheduled task that runs at login. Or use a Powershell script to make it a little smarter - check if it's enabled first and then disable it if it is.
Modern problems require modern solutions.
It will be re-enabled after update : )
My company blocks screenshots (luckily we don't have high definition cameras in or pocket at all times, else that would seem stupid) so I'm wondering what they will do if those are user accessible.
