Microsoft’s Recall AI tool in Windows 11 is not removable but may be uninstalled soon, as seen in the latest 24H2 version. Users cannot completely remove Recall from Copilot Plus PCs, but can disable it or limit monitoring capabilities for privacy. Recall captures user activity to create a searchable history beyond browsing.

The appearance of Recall as an uninstallable option in Windows Features menu was a mistake, clarified by a Windows product manager. Despite concerns over vulnerabilities and privacy, Recall’s launch with Copilot Plus PCs was postponed. Microsoft plans to offer a preview to Windows Insiders in October for testing before wider release.
