Microsoft has confirmed that Windows 11 users will not be able to uninstall the controversial “Recall” feature, despite earlier reports suggesting otherwise. Recall, part of the Copilot+ suite announced in May, automatically captures screenshots of user activity on the operating system including sensitive information such as passwords or financial data https://digitalmarketreports.com/news/25091/microsoft-recall-feature-on-windows-11-not-removable-after-all/ Do yourself a favor and get rid of Windows from your life—enough of these greedy companies. #privacy #security

until it mysteriously gets re-enabled by itself, as it is usual with updates.

today I have just found that even though I have disabled reporting start menu searches to bing on my parents' PC in windows 10, it still does it! I have double checked the registry setting, updated O&O ShutUp10 and turned the setting off and back on. it. does. not. care.
