Microsoft Revamps Windows Recall for Improved Privacy and Security, Introduces Opt-In Model and Encryption

Windows Recall

The Windows Recall feature uses AI to create a searchable digital memory of everything done on a Windows computer, but it will be turned off by default and equipped with tools to delete stored data. Microsoft has redesigned the security model to reduce the risk of malware and unauthorized access.

The feature will now be an “opt-in experience” during setup, and users can remove it entirely. Snapshots and sensitive data are encrypted and isolated, and user presence verification is required to access settings or data.

The system is designed never to save data from private browsing sessions, and users have control over data retention and storage space allocation. DLP technology from Microsoft Purview blocks private information from being stored.
