Despite promising to filter personal data out, Recall still captures it.

Is there a way to turn this off?

DISM /Online /Disable-Feature /FeatureName:Recall

Run that from an administrator terminal (right click start menu and select Terminal (Administrator)). You can also do it from Settings > Privacy > Recall.

Those are the Microsoft-approved ways. If you don't trust them, you can also just download a new iso and completely rip it off before install using something like ChrisTitus' microWin.

Thanks for making it nice and user friendly... most of my elders go into a kind of fugue state when they see the terminal

Thanks for mentioning microWin. A tool I didn’t know I needed. I figured none had been made since XP’s Tweaks.

You're welcome. Just keep in mind that removing Recall from the W11 ISO apparently also reverts Explorer to the W10 version.

To each their own, but I think the new one is better in every way (while still lacking basic functionality).

Both “problems” I’m happy to deal with.
