Microsoft Copilot.
Microsoft Recall.
Microsoft Edge.
These are features I have zero interest in for my Windows computer. I have some commercial software that requires Windows… I should investigate getting them running with Wine. In the meantime…
Recall is a huge security risk. “But it only processes locally”. Microsoft has shown time and time again that you cannot trust anything they say. Next week…?
“I Am Altering the Deal, Pray I Don’t Alter It Any Further.”
Anyway, enough unfocused ranting.
Let’s turn off this privacy invading garbage.
Open a command prompt or Powershell as Administrator. Run this command:
DISM /Online /Disable-Feature /FeatureName:"Recall"
This will disable Recall. A reboot may be required. For bonus points a scheduled task should probably be created to run at least once a day. We know how Microsoft likes to re-enable and re-install programs and features that we’ve already disabled or removed.
Such dreck.
No quarter.
Thanks for reading.
