Microsoft's Controversial Recall Feature Set for October Insider Preview

After significant privacy and security concerns, Microsoft will reintroduce the AI-powered screenshot tool with enhanced safeguards.

  • Recall will be available to Windows Insiders with Copilot+ PCs starting in October.
  • The feature takes periodic screenshots and stores them in an encrypted database.
  • Access to the database requires Windows Hello authentication, and Recall will be off by default.
  • Microsoft aims to leverage feedback from the Windows Insider community before a wider release.
  • Initial reactions labeled Recall a 'privacy nightmare' due to unencrypted data storage.
