This solves only the most recent of privacy concerns that were only discovered with it recently. The primary concern is the core ‘feature’ itself: Windows recording everything you do and look at.
People work with your personal data on a regular basis, you better hope not a single one of them have this ‘feature’ enabled.
If you don’t turn it on it doesn’t record anything.

Those sorts of businesses have policies on their computers, should be possible to disable it company-wide. If they’re not doing that then they have bigger problems than just Recall.
It’s not companies that are the problem. It’s your friends, the type that always clicks on accept all and allow. Do you have any idea how many spam calls I get because someone allowed some proprietary app access to their contacts? And I have at least five friends who would enable recall without giving it a second thought.
Making it opt-in is a much better way to offer this ridiculous “feature”. But I wager there will be future shenanigans. MS is very sneaky and passive-aggressive about pushing sketchy unwanted shit on its customers.
“whoops, a bug turned it on for everyone. But it’s okay, just manually opt-out again, haha. sorry. our bad”
Yep, it’ll be opt in until they can turn it on without people noticing
Time to recall “Recall”. And fix Windows 11 and repackage as W12 while they’re at it.
But they told us not to be concerned.
I can’t imagine this feature is enabled on Windows 11 Enterprise, right?
Not with this announcement, but it was.
Damn. 😣 Thanks for answering the question.
Can we just stop calling it a feature? Nobody asked for this to be a core part of the OS except MS tech support.
