you can also use Group Policy Editor to turn it off. access the Local Group Policy Editor by typing gpedit.msc in the command prompt, then press Enter

go to User Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Windows Copilot. in the right pane, double-click the setting "Turn off Windows Copilot" to Enable the setting (which turns off the AI spyware)

if you read this in the future, there might be a new setting just for Recall, so look for it in this part of gpedit.msc - but this should do the trick now

in fact, Group Policy Editor (gpedit) is your best tool for configuring how every aspect of your machine works, but it's no longer included in Home Editions of Windows, so if it doesn't launch when you type that, you'll need to download it from a reputable source (I've been able to find safe distributions regularly, but don't want to link just in case - always do your research before downloading anything)

if you had to add it, you'll probably have to reinstall Group Policy Editor and remove some programs over and over after major updates, but at least these two give you control over your computer

(my creds: I used to work for those guys and literally wrote the early books on the Windows Registry and Group Policy!)

Literal definition of spyware:

Also From Microsoft’s own FAQ: "Note that Recall does not perform content moderation. It will not hide information such as passwords or financial account numbers. 🤡

This is a Very Unconventional Way to Uninstall a Program Right?

Like this, I ever installed an application and somehow I didn't know how to uninstall it so I just deleted all of its files from program files folder, included its uninstall file. Little did I know that the cache of it still appear in the settings. 

When I wanted to uninstall it Windows told me that Windows cannot find uninstall.exe. After looking for the solution online, I did a very unconventional way to delete it, I deleted the program key from Windows Registry. After that, I can delete the cache of that application. 

I'm actually scared of what I've done but I'm pretty sure that I only deleted one folder from the registry, the folder titled the name of the application developer. It is one of the most important parts of Microsoft Windows operating system. Hopefully there won't be any problems with my sister's laptop.

[whimsypeddler]

one thing that has been nice about not being a 24/7 homebody cave dweller is getting to see people's houses while I walk around. like there are so many just really well put together little gardens and neat little bits of architecture that I kind of really enjoy looking at with my eyeballs. it's pleasant.

So uh... My laptop speaks bottom after a windows update huh...

[osterby]

I did all this through registry edits, but this is a much more user friendly way to do that.

I got a laptop with Windows 11 for an IT course so I can get certified, and doing the first time device set-up for it made me want to commit unspeakable violence

Windows 11 should not exist, no one should use it for any reason, it puts ads in the file explorer and has made it so file searches are also web searches and this cannot be turned off except through registry editing. Whoever is responsible for those decisions should be killed, full stop.

Switch to linux, it's free and it's good.
