Yet something else to disable in Windows. I’m losing track of each thing at this point.
Yeah, that’s the issue with the argument of ‘just turn it off’. You can turn it off, then tomorrow there will be another thing to turn off (hope you were paying attention to the news to find out what it was!). The next day an update will come along and turn half of them back on. The following the mental script you made to will stop working because they moved half the settings, etc, etc, etc.
It’s a never ending battle as Microsoft fundamentally does not respect their paying users. Microsoft could add a top-level toggle box to automatically disable bloatware, telemetry, and the privacy nightmare that is OP’s story about how the OS records everything you do, but they don’t have this. They don’t want you turning this stuff off, they don’t respect you.
Off by default, or else I’m done
There are many Linux communities just waiting to give you a welcoming high five. Why wait to be disappointed by MS?
I’m using linux at home, but seriously, normal office work runs on windows.
Could you imagine how SWEET this feature would be if it was a Encrypted FOSS Self Hosted Service?
The base idea isn’t bad, it just needs some tweaking, such as not screenshotting sensitive or private data, being free open source software, and Linux availability.
Hah, jokes on them, my university is too poor to afford copilot.

Microsoft says that the Recall index remains local and private on-device, encrypted in a way that is linked to a particular user’s account. “Recall screenshots are only linked to a specific user profile and Recall does not share them with other users, make them available for Microsoft to view, or use them for targeting advertisements. Screenshots are only available to the person whose profile was used to sign in to the device,” Microsoft says.
Users can pause, stop, or delete captured content and can exclude specific apps or websites. Recall won’t take snapshots of InPrivate web browsing sessions in Microsoft Edge or DRM-protected content
Local and optional.
And there will be people who actually believe this
I know trust that gut feeling truthiness rather than MS and their long standing record of telling you exactly what they are collecting.
MS phones home a ton of shit. They are also always upfront about it, especially in the enterprise space.
But who will have the encryption key? Since you need more and more connectivity to operate win 11, who is to say this isn’t accessible from outside if Microsoft gets breached
Bit locker is well documented and an effective full disk encryption.
Did they state they’ll use it? I’m highly concerned this will heavily rely on the tos verbiage and “local storage” will deceive users into thinking the info won’t intentionally or not intentionally leak.
If bit locker is on then the entire disk is encrypted . It has nothing to do with ToS, it’s how you configure your system.
I can it’s encrypted locally but still send partial data out, just like some VPNs that don’t record anything can still just forward the data to the NSA. ToS can allow loopholes that aren’t alwaya obvious
