Microsoft explains how Windows 11’s controversial Recall feature is now ready for release – it’s coming to Copilot+ PCs in November
- Microsoft plans to launch Windows 11’s Recall feature on Copilot+ laptops in November.
- Recall is a supercharged AI-powered search in Windows 11 that leverages snapshots of the activity on your PC.
- The Recall feature will be strictly opt-in, as opposed to the default-on approach when it was first unveiled.
- Snapshots – and other Recall-related data – will be fully encrypted, and Windows Hello authentication will be a requirement to use the feature.
- Recall will use a secure environment called a Virtualization-based Security Enclave, or VBS Enclave, which is a fully secure virtual machine isolated from the Windows 11 system, that only the user can access.
- Microsoft has made clear that all Recall data is kept locally on your machine, and none of it is sent to the cloud.
- Recall is a Copilot+ PC exclusive because it needs a powerful NPU for acceleration and local processing for Recall to work responsively there.
- Other privacy tightening measures include the ability to exclude specific apps or websites from ever having snapshots taken by Recall.
- Recall is returning to testing in October, and if all goes well, will release to Copilot+ PCs in November
- Recall will still be marked as in ‘preview’ and it’s debatable whether you should be taking the plunge with an ability like this when it’s not quite fully finished.
