Many people in this section do not know the benefits of this feature. Imagine you saw a cute cat photo, can't remember where but the date you've seen it. Recall helps. Worried that your battery lasts too long? Enable Recall to drastically reduce your battery life and enjoy off-time without your PC.

Right up there with games forcing people to install rootkit malware to play. They call it anti-cheat, but the software has total access to all software & hardware. If it were ever compromised it would have the potential to be the worst exploit in consumer PC hardware, an actual nightmare scenario.

These days it’s ”machine learning”. Which is in general a sort of euphemism for spyware. Because where does training data come from? The statisticians in the AI companies are using our collective output as input. And they would kill for the NSA:s data-collecting capabilities.

Time to install DoNotSpy11, not only does it have an option to disable copilot it also allows to disable many previous and still present to this day telemetry functions Microsoft has implemented over the years, the more so it can disable ads as well, I value my privacy and so should Microsoft.
