On Windows 11 24H2, it may be possible to uninstall the Windows Recall feature. I tried it and it worked.
Windows Recall was promoted as an impressive photographic memory feature that takes screenshots of everything you do on the computer every few seconds and then applies AI to analyze the contents and make the data searchable in a timeline-like interface. However, after numerous security and privacy concerns, the company removed the test preview of the feature from the operating system.
After many weeks, Microsoft recently gave us an update indicating that testing of Recall will resume in October 2024, but only with Copilot+ PCs. One thing the company didn't mention is that it will be possible to uninstall Windows Recall from Windows 11 (so to speak).
