Recall will always be removable. Can you imagine government and corporations having their dirty laundry aired in public? Microsoft will have "special" versions for their friends.
@@prman9984 That is true even without the Microsoft spyware, so it's irrelevant here. This is about stopping the many hackers who will focus on this tech upon release.
I am fairly sure there will always be a way that recall can be disabled, because I don't think any company will want to increase the risk that proprietary data gets leaked from their computers. So if it cannot be disabled and removed, most companies will not want to run Windows.
I used the automated install XML script generator from your video three months ago, and it gave me the option not to install Recall. I'm very happy with my debloated Win11 install, and I did use your sponsor to purchase a Win11 pro key. Everything worked just fine. I had two notes on the install - you may need to pre-download the IO drivers for your mainboard to the install USB, and if you want to remove Edge make sure you're doing an offline install and make sure to remove Edge from Add/Remove Programs BEFORE you go online and run Windows Update.
Be wary of his sponsor though. When I bought a Win 11 key the 'billing adress' originated from China... I did get my key and had no problems, but when it comes to china you can never be safe enough I guess.
Not even giving Microsoft the option. Switched to Linux back in July and could not be happier. Games running better than on Windows. Now is a great time to tell Microsoft to take a long walk off of a short pier.

I personally worry that surgeries in Germany will not be able to use their AIS/PVS software, which mostly runs on MS Windows 11, as soon as Win 11 has the ABILITY to run recall and thus make copies of the data displayed. The legal situation for doctors (which cannot be changed) is that they have to make sure that their patient's data is not accessible (by accident). Even access to the database they have to use to check "stuff" about their patients is extremely restricted (even statistics are extremely restricted and workarounds are illegal).
I am just one step closer to my 1st complete cachy os (arch based) gnome desktop. Thanks for this video brother. Windows 11 is a headache for everyone who wants a simple system.
About the “only Copilot+ PCs can run Recall so you don’t have to worry anyway” thing, I’m wondering, since it’s not a strict physical limitation, that is, not a few non-Copilot+ PCs do have the horsepower to run the thing, why wouldn’t MS turn on Recall on those PCs too? Because to them it’s just more data that can be collected. And even on those PCs that are too weak to run it properly, they can still run it anyway, since the cost in performance is incurred by the user, not MS. In short, why do they have to care if running Recall slows down your PC when doing so gives them data. And in practice, they may run a “Recall lite” so that the user can live with it and they still get some data anyway. It’s better than nothing. Why do they push DLLs for Recall to all computers if they really intended to run it on only newer PCs with NPUs?
I do respect all the effort you put into debunking and explaining the stuff you do here about Windows Recall. However I think all the extreme negative response of the feature before it even was officially released should make something extremely clear this is a feature absolutely nobody wants this. I would not be surprised if this would lead to massive lawsuits when it is enabled without people knowing it is (or understanding what it does). After all those years I know I should know better, but let's hope MS will understand that pushing through with this feature will cause a huge backlash. Even those people who post their complete life on social media, shout the loudest they have nothing to hide, etc. Even those people do see the dangers of this feature.
MS marketing team: since we know everyone will hate it, & the govt may force us to recall it, let's name it "Recall" so people get desensitized to seeing "MS" and "Recall" in the same headline. Then, if we ever do have to recall it, people will just ignore the stories trying to tell them its been recalled!
Unless you are a Microsoft programmer working on Recall, it is hard to believe what is true anymore from Microsoft. Many times over the years (or decades) that Microsoft said "this" and "that" was actually enabled or occurred. Windows users is quickly losing faith and trust in Microsoft because it is hard to believe what is true anymore. If the feature is not supposed to run or be enabled because the NPU is lacking, why enable the feature? Microsoft is definitely doing something without letting everyone know. Someone will find it soon and show us all Microsoft's deceptive practices, like usual.
@@jclosed2516 Think about it. Look at the past videos based on Recall invasive feature. First it was Copilot+ only computers, then it was all, then you can disable it, then you can't disable it, oh wait, it was a BUG, well, now it is not a bug, it was a flaw in design, oppsss... we missed securing the text file with sensitive information, now its fixed, we encrypted it, but not when you are logged in allowing hackers to still gain access to your sensitive data, etc., etc. Microsoft has been flip-flopping so much on this Recall feature, how can anyone believe anything they say about it now. This Recall "feature" is a major train-wreck.
There is a Slight problem with this approach of yours (and I know because I've tested for over 2 weeks and it shows the same result Everytime) - when you restart your computer AFTER having Disabled the Recall feature, when you run the command to check if Recall is disabled or not... It shows "Enabled" and you HAVE to run the command line to Disable it AGAIN. I've put a shortcut in my startup folder to run the Disabling command, And it Works, but still annoying as hell 😢
Thank you for the much needed information. Your tips and tricks are very helpful and educating. I learned that my old PC running 24h2 does not have recall installed as of yet. So me thinking I turned it off was incorrect. But I will keep an eye out for when it does in the future. Again thank you and keep those tips coming. I always learn something new with each of your videos.
1) Recall is being pushed by Microsoft. So they are going to get it installed anywhere and everywhere possible. 2) It is enabled by default. That is a red flag. No one should be opt'ing you in to anything. They should need your expressed consent. The Recall spyware (or "feature") should be an option that the customer chooses to enable. 3) 99.9% of Windows users never heard of the command prompt. Even fewer have ever used the command prompt. For Microsoft to make the status of the Recall "feature" available only via cryptic command line syntax, evidences that Microsoft is deliberately concealing their "Recall for everyone" agenda. 4) And for the output of the command's "State" field to read "Enabled", when it is not actually enabled, is the icing on the cake. For a company that makes such user friendly software, they somehow have "Enabled" not mean enabled, and the public is supposed to not be confused? 5) That "switch flipping" that currently does nothing, will, in the not-to-distant-future, do something. And Microsoft is not going to have Windows notify us when that switch becomes functional. "Recall" is a devious bypass to all data encryption. Now, 3-letter agencies need not struggle to check encrypted data. They only need to login to you PC, and they will have a clear, highly detailed view of absolutely everything that you ever had on your screen (and probably every keystroke and mouse click, too). Microsoft is teaming up with Big Brother. And if you disable Recall, will you be checking its status after every Windows Update? Microsoft can enable it any time they wish.
I deleted and disabled a lot of MS stuff years ago, including updates. Now when I occasionally do an update, I disconnect my data and programs drive. leaving only the drive with the OS. I then left MS jerrk itself off, then check for and disable stuff it has restored. Zpne Alarm does a good job watching over MS and programs/feattures I don't want.

I think it's important to understand that Intels new processors all have npus. So any Arrow Lake system (something g millions of people are going to buy without realizing the concern) are going to have Microsoft Enable this by default. If MS is going to force it in their OS, they should least default to disabled and make it an option-in feature. Because just like other features, we KNOW Microaoft is going to keep trying to re-enable every update, if not every cumulative patch.
Thank you for your work on this sensitive issue and trying to clear the 'fog of war'. I'll take what you say as accurate but I simply cannot bring myself to trust Microsoft.
Maybe it has something to do with Microsoft in a scummy way installing unwanted stuff (or sneaky turn on again after the user disabled it) in Windows updates without noticing users? And with the whole telemetry that nobody asked for? And adds that nobody asked for? And trying to make a Microsoft account mandatory, by making installing with a local account as difficult as possible? Yeah - Microsoft has lost it trust for a long time now,
Fun tip: Learn to use Portmaster! Telemetry can’t escape if you sever its connection to the web. Basically, making telemetry stay on your PC, similar to if you'd unplug the ethernet cable. It's a must if you're a Windows user.
"Boss, we forgot to mark the CBS app as a dependency for File Explorer. Its only marked for Recall. Should I fix it?" "No. It'll screw with the people who want to uninstall Recall from their systems." "... Eh, okay."
Microsoft did say in an interview (I believe with Austin Evans) that they hope/plan to push Recall to all x86 systems at some point. They did not elaborate, no one pressed for details or explanations, and there were no indications whether that meant ALL x86 or all FUTURE x86.

I would recommend using some software that would monitor these folders for any changes. This would document what MS is doing and flag when they try to install Recall on your system and with what update.
As soon as linux has a distro that can " fully " support all steam games. I will drop windows and not look back. Windows as a service is coming, just a mater of time. Thx for sharing.
Zorin can install Windows .exe installers. So if it's possible, Zorin makes it the easiest and it also recommends similar Linux programs that you can try instead. Right on the dialog, try Linux program or install Windows program.
Microsoft has made me 100% certain my next computer will not have Windows. In fact, with the increased usage of Linux and the ever increasing user-friendliness I think it safe to say I will never return to Windows.
@@notjustforhackers4252 Theres a reason why linux isnt more popular. I learned windows as a child because it was so straight forward. No weird commands needed. No compatibility issues. Nowadays i still find de bloating windows to a bare bones OS is the way to go.

The simple answer is that WINDOWS is not mandatory. For most users, Windows isn't even the best option in 2025. With the M4 MacMini in the $1000 range, the price gap between MacOS and Windows has shrunk to the point of being negligeable, and Linux distros like LMDE and ZorinOS, have made Linux an intuitive and highly stable option, that in many ways surpasses Windows (and with no OS telemetry tracking, on a complete different level of privacy and security than is offered by Microsoft without system-slowing 3rd party TSRs*.) Stop rewarding corporate bad behaviour and take control of your computer. Get rid of Co-Pilot and ReCall by getting rid of Windows once and for all. It's not rocket science and Microsoft is NOT your friend (friends don't make friends throw out perfectly good computers, to help hardware partners). * Anti-virus software is still recommended for Linux, but the architecture makes it a less urgent installation. I would NEVER use a Windows system online for 1 minute without supplementing Defender with at least Malwarebytes. Also you are greatly exaggerating the learning curve of modern Windows alternatives. I'm a retired grandpa, and have been having a ball in Linux (including arming myself with several Terminal commands). I have also installed it on a great many laptops for other geriatric casual users (my peers) and no one has had any difficulty adapting to its unique differences. Your suggestion is highly ageist. Old people are not stupid. When windows can do "sudo apt install xxx" we can talk.
@@Dennis-ur4zu My distro of choice upon making the switch was Zorin OS (version 16 back then), but I started to get my friends to make the switch upon the release of Zorin 17. So they went in that direction under my advice (it is highly intuitive for a Windows users but includes Mac, Windows and Ubuntu like interfaces a single click away) Most importantly it is rock solid, stable and just works (including on some fairly old hardware) and since I had grown familiar, I could provide support. (calls that never came) After just over a year I'm still a new user, but I think Arch looks up my alley as a retirement-era learning project that would give me more direct control over the OS. so while I'm happy that I have other old farts quite happy with Zorin, I can see myself transitioning over to Arch over the next year. BUT... I will note that while Wine provides a certain level of windows app compatibility, I advise folks not to install any version of Linux if they require specific proprietary Windows software for work or communications. Let Windows do Windows. There are enough Linux variants, most open source and free, that I don't really miss any Windows (or Adobe) software, and can open 99% of my files with alternative Linux software. Sorry for being long winded, but I wanted to be as honest as possible.
@@Dennis-ur4zu Personally I use Linux Mint Cinnamon. It is probably one of the most easy to use Linux distributions around. But, as said, that's personally of course.
Microsoft has yet to explain why taking periodic screenshots is a good way to backup your work? With One Drive, programs that automatically create backups while you work, thousands of backup software programs available, many for free, and 30 years of common sense users, what the heck do we need Recall for? It makes no sense whatsoever. It is, however a HUGE security risk. Is that the point?
If Microsoft had a modicum of respect for their customers they wouldn't be participating in all this mass surveillance BS anyway but.......I'm sure they're paid handsomely with our tax dollars to keep pushing Big Brother. What the heck do you think the Patriot act was for?
The command prompt? You know the flaming us Linux users get over the command prompt? We are always being told Linux is about the command prompt (it isn't, ESPECIALLY if you use KDE!) and how retrograde the command prompt is and typing commands is an awful experience.. yadda, yadda yadda. [I use the command prompt to run pdfgrep. End.] Now, it's OK for Windows users to have to drop to the command prompt to uninstall a feature nobody asked for? By Windows users standards re: Linux this is a big "No, no good!"
Wait a minuet, if this recall folder is not connected to anything and there are bunch of DLL laying there for nothing, can't I get rid of it by delete that Recall folder and the computer will continue to work the same after restarting?
Windows recall will only work on copilot + PCs. It does nothing on normal PCs. YT is full of fake news about this! Finally, someone who truly understands the topic.👍
Here FIRST!!! YEAH! I hate recall, which is one of the reasons I haven’t switched to Windows 11. Also, the interface is really weird. I really appreciate you taking the time to show us how to get rid of it!
DLLs are used to inject some functionallity to a running process... so, these "innofensive" dlls in the recall folder might be capturing data from any process windows has them injected... also, you didn't show that disabling recall in fact do downgrade the file explorer to an older version, you just ommited it.
..which is why if/when I require Windows (maybe 5% of the time) I disconnect any data drives, disconnect the MX Linux/KDE-Plasma USB drive then boot into it - as long as both the data and USB boot drive as pulled (physically) MS cannot harvest data using AI agents and so forth. I've been using MX Linux/KDE for about 4 years now and I notice a large improvement in speed as well as much lower RAM requirements running Linux - this wasn't the case not so long ago so MS is definitely harvesting data.
Isn't Windows Recall designed primarily, to give the user a more complete and better - RESTORE POINT - option, taking into account EVERYTHING that was open at that time?
No, its for AI agents to use kinda like Apple Intelligence. It will SCAN everything, compile it, and off to MS it goes for data harvesting by intelligence agencies, corporations, digital-twining, global governments. For instance with Apple it would scan the entire iPhone for pictures/photos to report back anything illegal (of course it gets expanded). You'll note the push to get their hands on anything like photos, documents, desktop items, bio-metrics (like fingerprints to unlock in Hello) - once on the "cloud" (their servers) it can be processed and data harvested. They will BS people by saying "oh - but no one at MS will see or" -- but we all know AI isn't a "someone" but a "something".
you are wrong. I have amd system and this latest update has it in spades. I've been investigating the latest push and it IS taking snapshots every 5 seconds when I'm using it despite me using DSM to turn it off. I'm still working on making it stop.
I am still using Windows 11 Pro RETAIL, version 23H2 on my PC, and I am even on their Windows Insider Programme and they have still yet to offer that update for me. Oh I fixed my Windows Update, but now it says its not ready yet.
You put my mind at ease a little bit, however, because of Microsoft's "Intentional" mistake, that likely won't be fixed, unless it is fixed in a way that goes against us, they have pushed me to Linux. I am waiting to see how it pans out. Another podcast that I see on The You Tubes is "Security Now" with Steve Gibson. He's working on a way to completely remove Recall, and writing a program. And he has a great name for it, but I am sworn to secrecy. But this is more of the same "pattern" when it comes to Microsoft doing things they should not be doing, and they've been doing it since Windows 8, from key logging, to unremovable programs, like Internet Explorer and now Edge and even that vulgar Cortana in the earlier Windows 10. Remove her, and it broke search, and then she'd come back, but search would still be broke. She was very stubborn. It's like Microsoft didn't learn anything from that lawsuit and no one is making them comply with that ruling. Internet Explorer is still around and it keeps finding its way back in even after removing it by force, which is the only way to get it gone. Same nonsense with Edge. My attitude is the same as yours. While I do have things to hide, like my privacy, my journals, my E-mails etc, it is nobodies damn business. If the 3 letter agencies want to pry the lid off my privacy, they can get a show cause and court order, then get me that way. We rely on these damn things too much. When I rise to power, I intend to change a lot of this. Microsoft will be regulated and they will have to be neutral. If customers want their stuff looked at and stored, then they can opt in. They can also opt out any time, with a simple switch. And those privacy settings, category after category and it always jumps back to the top with each change. Oy yoi,yoi. All that stuff will be OFF by defualt and only turned on if the user wants to use a feature that depends on it. Anyway, I am on Linux for now and holding my breath to see what hell comes, be it in surveillance, and politics. However, I don't support what is, nor did I support the alternative, I "Feel" less financially burdened than I've been feeling. So hopefully, things will not be worse than they were 8 years ago. All I know is, the last 4 years has shown me I can't afford to live any longer.
Yo mate, I am having issue with installing win 11 24H2 as I am getting that "media driver is missing" prompt at installation starting point. It never happened to me before. Right now, I am on 22H2 and I have ryzen 7840HS processor laptop... Any idea would be appreciated... However, I tried using different bootable makers and this ISO is debloated using NTlite and the current running version of my windows which is 22H2 was debloated using msmg toolkit.. Do you think if debloating is an issue? Thank You
Everyone is worried about 24H2, but I am anxious that my laptop still doesn't have it. If it's going to break something, I'd rather it did it sooner rather than later.
Do you remember back when they said Internet Explorer couldn't be removed from Windows and then somebody did it? BTW you on screen text missed the "name" from "featurename"
it might be a cool idea to set up a dual boot, pull all personal data from windows and put it in linux instead. im so disappointed in windows because it's the only OS that runs VR, horizon 5 and halo infinite
No, Microsoft did not make a mistake. They deliberately did it to keep Recall in the system. They were very much aware that people will be deleting it, so they shuffled the dependency of some programs into the Recall folder.
With this command i get: Feature name recall is unknown. A Windows feature name was not recognized. Use the /Get-Features option to find the name of the feature in the image and try the command again.
You kept saying you were looking for the "..... Client.ATX" entry - you said you found it, but you actually found and opened the "....Client.AIX" entry. There did NOT appear to be an "ATX" folder there at all... ? So... Did you prove Recall isn't there? Not to me, but then I'm an absolute, total noob... Maybe you can explain it to 'me'... ?
@@CyberCPU Fair enough. We can all stuff things up... I know from personal experience 🫢😉 If we were to, say, DELETE all those unconnected .dll files... maybe even the complete folder... as they are not in use nor needed for anything else... would it be detrimental? Curious...
I disagree. Get as many people off windows as possible. I am installing Linux Mint on all my older clients computers as I can. Some have special needs that needs a program in windows so I set up a virtual box with a windows say 11 install and after showing them 2 or 3 times to make sure it is set and working. They love it! Now if 70 and 80 year olds can run this, anyone can. I got my brother on it 2 years ago and he is no tech expert in any since and he loves it now. Even asked me to show him how to get rid of windows on his other laptop so he don't have to put up with it anymore. So please everyone, make the leap, it is not as scary as you think, start on Linux mint or mx-linux. You will love it.
I still do not understand why Microsoft wants this Recall thing because most users are against this. The result is a community that is going to hate the Recall thing. So they have a reason to stay on 23H2 , or stay on windows 10.
Global governance and global bio-metric digital ID - they were told to. this way if you do not conform they cut off your digital carbon, social and mobility credits. They are moving towards MS Azure Sphere.
Odds are high that MS tied Recall to File Explorer on purpose. This smells like their old IE "bundling" during the days of Win95. Humans are great at repeating the past.
How to be (more) sure that recall doesn't get activated through updates. Install Win11 with the Rufus patch, install ExplorerPatcher and your system gets flagged as unsupported and you will only get security updates and no feature updates.
Wow. TH-cam *_really_* don't like me commenting on this channel - comment insta-deleted. Again. Windows 10 IoT Enterprise LTSC 2021 is supported until 2032. That's all I'll say, if this comment even gets through.....
There will have to be an ability to disable Windows Recall for companies and individuals who deal with military ITAR contracts due to the sensitive nature of the information.
...OK, but I thought a DLL file can be run as an .exe, because it is in fact a executable file... If I remember well... you can call a file DLL or exe notRecall.DLL does not mean it is not! Anyway we will see what Microsoft comes up with... I am still on 23H2 debloated version with a HDD (not sad) usually to 0% when idle...
No, DLL files are not executable. DLL stands for dynamic link library. It's essentially a library of code that can be used by an executable file. For instance every application uses the print dialog box. But you wouldn't want to code a print dialog box for every application. Therefore you code it once and store it in a dynamic link library and then whenever you need it you just reference it.
Do you think cleaning lady knows how to run DISM? Cleaning lady probably doesn't use anything special in Windows that will make her transfer to Linux hard... Browsers are same, Office support is there... She have no need to go to terminal, as she had no need to go to command prompt...
I've got Windows updates turned off by disabling the automatic download via a metered connection, and I've setup my LAN to have a metered connection. Since several months now, I haven't gotten a single update yet that got installed behind my back and so won't 24H2 and Recall/CoPilot along with it. I just checked my pc via the displayed dism command and it says Recall isn't a known feature on my system. I can still install updates manually though by going into the update settings and click a button to download each update separately. Not going to do that though as my Win7 system worked fine even after 13 years of never installing a single update. And so will my new Win11 system. I paid for windows and I paid for my pc, so I should be able to decide what gets installed and what runs, and not Microsoft. If they want it to run, they better repay my Win11 installation and my entire pc. If they claim it's THEIR computer, they should pay for it, not me. And they'll force install it anyways on even non-copilot enabled pc's by writing a software version of the required hardware so it can run on any pc, albeit slower. Just like some software has software-rendering instead of hardware-enabled rendering.
I was hoping someone here can help me figure out the problem with my core 2 quad Dell Optiplex previously it ran games like Fortnite and applications like cinebench R15 and MSI combuster none of these apps will even launch I did get fur Mark to launch but only before I installed the video driver where the Microsoft basic display adapter was present it opened but would not run after I installed the video cards update again none of these applications will run The machine was previously running on Windows 11 23H2 and I figured maybe it was that so I went back to Windows 10 same problem any help or insight would be greatly appreciated The machine runs fine besides that
The fact it’s even installed, on or not, is wrong. It can use the GPU an NPU is not required. Amidst the controversy around Windows 11's new (mostly-unwanted) Copilot+ features, a developer on Twitter has taken the discussion a step further by revealing that one of the flagship new features, Recall, doesn't require the presence of a powerful NPU after all. This makes sense, though, considering Recall's main functions seem to be automated screen captures and the ability to search through those screen caps' text - two things that modern hardware has been capable of for a while, now.
sorry but i dont believe "its a atiny mistake" by MS. a canary windows 11 copy had a built-in UNISTALLER from add/remove programs for WINDOWS RECALL. next update was totally erased from existance. those files are there because one day MS will go "ow yeah now recall MUST be installed and enabled or else explorer wont work" and that is when i install any linux version where i can proton my games out.
First, Microsoft has enabled disabled features in a software update dozens of times. Second, a hacker got it running on machines without an NPU. Slower, but it worked. I switched to Zorin Linux for the machine where I need security for banking, etc. I do NOT recommend doing anything sensitive on Windows anymore. Because it only takes a hidden update to record everything you are doing without your knowledge or consent.

@@prman9984 That is true even without the Microsoft spyware, so it's irrelevant here. This is about stopping the many hackers who will focus on this tech upon release.

You are wise.
Did you not watch the video bro? It only runs on systems with NPUs. Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean you're correct.
@@jmacdono Remember when M$ said Windows 11 will not run on PC without TPM chip. ;) Well guess what...
I am fairly sure there will always be a way that recall can be disabled, because I don't think any company will want to increase the risk that proprietary data gets leaked from their computers. So if it cannot be disabled and removed, most companies will not want to run Windows.
Thank you for a clearer explanation of what's going on with Recall. It's hard to decipher facts from click bait on TH-cam these days.
It doesnt make this program less creepy. Its fucking disturbing that Microsoft BUILT IN . ON PURPOSE. SPYWARE. Cause that is what it is.
Microsoft would NEVER say its disabled when it isn't - would they?
It's easy to check if recall is enabled. It stores a lot of data on your PC.
I used the automated install XML script generator from your video three months ago, and it gave me the option not to install Recall. I'm very happy with my debloated Win11 install, and I did use your sponsor to purchase a Win11 pro key. Everything worked just fine. I had two notes on the install - you may need to pre-download the IO drivers for your mainboard to the install USB, and if you want to remove Edge make sure you're doing an offline install and make sure to remove Edge from Add/Remove Programs BEFORE you go online and run Windows Update.
Be wary of his sponsor though. When I bought a Win 11 key the 'billing adress' originated from China... I did get my key and had no problems, but when it comes to china you can never be safe enough I guess.
Not even giving Microsoft the option. Switched to Linux back in July and could not be happier. Games running better than on Windows. Now is a great time to tell Microsoft to take a long walk off of a short pier.

I personally worry that surgeries in Germany will not be able to use their AIS/PVS software, which mostly runs on MS Windows 11, as soon as Win 11 has the ABILITY to run recall and thus make copies of the data displayed. The legal situation for doctors (which cannot be changed) is that they have to make sure that their patient's data is not accessible (by accident). Even access to the database they have to use to check "stuff" about their patients is extremely restricted (even statistics are extremely restricted and workarounds are illegal).
It’s cute how Copilot let you think you disabled Recall ❤❤❤😊😊😊
I am just one step closer to my 1st complete cachy os (arch based) gnome desktop. Thanks for this video brother. Windows 11 is a headache for everyone who wants a simple system.
About the “only Copilot+ PCs can run Recall so you don’t have to worry anyway” thing, I’m wondering, since it’s not a strict physical limitation, that is, not a few non-Copilot+ PCs do have the horsepower to run the thing, why wouldn’t MS turn on Recall on those PCs too? Because to them it’s just more data that can be collected. And even on those PCs that are too weak to run it properly, they can still run it anyway, since the cost in performance is incurred by the user, not MS. In short, why do they have to care if running Recall slows down your PC when doing so gives them data. And in practice, they may run a “Recall lite” so that the user can live with it and they still get some data anyway. It’s better than nothing.
Why do they push DLLs for Recall to all computers if they really intended to run it on only newer PCs with NPUs?
Totally agree with you.
Because recall was integrated with the updated file Explorer if you block it during update it does not update explorer
I do respect all the effort you put into debunking and explaining the stuff you do here about Windows Recall.
However I think all the extreme negative response of the feature before it even was officially released should make something extremely clear this is a feature absolutely nobody wants this.
I would not be surprised if this would lead to massive lawsuits when it is enabled without people knowing it is (or understanding what it does).
After all those years I know I should know better, but let's hope MS will understand that pushing through with this feature will cause a huge backlash.
Even those people who post their complete life on social media, shout the loudest they have nothing to hide, etc. Even those people do see the dangers of this feature.
MS marketing team: since we know everyone will hate it, & the govt may force us to recall it, let's name it "Recall" so people get desensitized to seeing "MS" and "Recall" in the same headline.
Then, if we ever do have to recall it, people will just ignore the stories trying to tell them its been recalled!
Unless you are a Microsoft programmer working on Recall, it is hard to believe what is true anymore from Microsoft. Many times over the years (or decades) that Microsoft said "this" and "that" was actually enabled or occurred. Windows users is quickly losing faith and trust in Microsoft because it is hard to believe what is true anymore. If the feature is not supposed to run or be enabled because the NPU is lacking, why enable the feature? Microsoft is definitely doing something without letting everyone know. Someone will find it soon and show us all Microsoft's deceptive practices, like usual.
There is absolutely something sneaky going on. As expected from Microsoft of course.
@@jclosed2516 Think about it. Look at the past videos based on Recall invasive feature. First it was Copilot+ only computers, then it was all, then you can disable it, then you can't disable it, oh wait, it was a BUG, well, now it is not a bug, it was a flaw in design, oppsss... we missed securing the text file with sensitive information, now its fixed, we encrypted it, but not when you are logged in allowing hackers to still gain access to your sensitive data, etc., etc. Microsoft has been flip-flopping so much on this Recall feature, how can anyone believe anything they say about it now. This Recall "feature" is a major train-wreck.
There is a Slight problem with this approach of yours (and I know because I've tested for over 2 weeks and it shows the same result Everytime) - when you restart your computer AFTER having Disabled the Recall feature, when you run the command to check if Recall is disabled or not... It shows "Enabled" and you HAVE to run the command line to Disable it AGAIN. I've put a shortcut in my startup folder to run the Disabling command, And it Works, but still annoying as hell 😢
Weird. I disabled it 3 weeks ago and it stayed that way. Even when I run a system file check, it stays disabled.
Thank you for the much needed information. Your tips and tricks are very helpful and educating. I learned that my old PC running 24h2 does not have recall installed as of yet. So me thinking I turned it off was incorrect. But I will keep an eye out for when it does in the future. Again thank you and keep those tips coming. I always learn something new with each of your videos.
1) Recall is being pushed by Microsoft. So they are going to get it installed anywhere and everywhere possible.
2) It is enabled by default. That is a red flag.
No one should be opt'ing you in to anything. They should need your expressed consent. The Recall spyware (or "feature") should be an option that the customer chooses to enable.
3) 99.9% of Windows users never heard of the command prompt. Even fewer have ever used the command prompt.
For Microsoft to make the status of the Recall "feature" available only via cryptic command line syntax, evidences that Microsoft is deliberately concealing their "Recall for everyone" agenda.
4) And for the output of the command's "State" field to read "Enabled", when it is not actually enabled, is the icing on the cake. For a company that makes such user friendly software, they somehow have "Enabled" not mean enabled, and the public is supposed to not be confused?
5) That "switch flipping" that currently does nothing, will, in the not-to-distant-future, do something.
And Microsoft is not going to have Windows notify us when that switch becomes functional.
"Recall" is a devious bypass to all data encryption.
Now, 3-letter agencies need not struggle to check encrypted data. They only need to login to you PC, and they will have a clear, highly detailed view of absolutely everything that you ever had on your screen (and probably every keystroke and mouse click, too). Microsoft is teaming up with Big Brother.
And if you disable Recall, will you be checking its status after every Windows Update?
Microsoft can enable it any time they wish.
I deleted and disabled a lot of MS stuff years ago, including updates. Now when I occasionally do an update, I disconnect my data and programs drive. leaving only the drive with the OS. I then left MS jerrk itself off, then check for and disable stuff it has restored. Zpne Alarm does a good job watching over MS and programs/feattures I don't want.
The machine needs to be specifically a Copilot+PC device for Recall to actually do the things.
I believe the term you're looking for is 'black flag'

It's quite common that people that hell "use Linux" are usually the same people that believe earth is flat. Do you?
I think it's important to understand that Intels new processors all have npus. So any Arrow Lake system (something g millions of people are going to buy without realizing the concern) are going to have Microsoft Enable this by default.
If MS is going to force it in their OS, they should least default to disabled and make it an option-in feature. Because just like other features, we KNOW Microaoft is going to keep trying to re-enable every update, if not every cumulative patch.
Thank you for your work on this sensitive issue and trying to clear the 'fog of war'.
I'll take what you say as accurate but I simply cannot bring myself to trust Microsoft.
Maybe it has something to do with Microsoft in a scummy way installing unwanted stuff (or sneaky turn on again after the user disabled it) in Windows updates without noticing users? And with the whole telemetry that nobody asked for? And adds that nobody asked for? And trying to make a Microsoft account mandatory, by making installing with a local account as difficult as possible?
Yeah - Microsoft has lost it trust for a long time now,
Fun tip: Learn to use Portmaster! Telemetry can’t escape if you sever its connection to the web. Basically, making telemetry stay on your PC, similar to if you'd unplug the ethernet cable. It's a must if you're a Windows user.
"Boss, we forgot to mark the CBS app as a dependency for File Explorer. Its only marked for Recall. Should I fix it?"
"No. It'll screw with the people who want to uninstall Recall from their systems."
"... Eh, okay."
Nice video on how to disable this feature. It would be nice to have a quick explanation of what Recall even is.
It is a feature that captures all you do. It is invasive and wrong.
Another search indexer basically, even without the visual aids of screenshots.
Think of it as a beefier variant of Timeline in Windows 10.
Microsoft did say in an interview (I believe with Austin Evans) that they hope/plan to push Recall to all x86 systems at some point. They did not elaborate, no one pressed for details or explanations, and there were no indications whether that meant ALL x86 or all FUTURE x86.
your displayed command line is incorrect it says /Feature:Recall ...... it should say ...... /Featurename:Recall ....
Folder name also incorrect. was AIX not ATX as you stated.
For anyone creating a custom Windows 11 24H2 ISO, these are the required components that have a File Explorer (with tabs) dependency at the moment:
Media, NFS, Search Engine, Remote Desktop, Recall

Great idea. So tell us when are you going to change Microsoft and how.
I would recommend using some software that would monitor these folders for any changes. This would document what MS is doing and flag when they try to install Recall on your system and with what update.
As soon as linux has a distro that can " fully " support all steam games. I will drop windows and not look back. Windows as a service is coming, just a mater of time. Thx for sharing.
Proton supports games not the distro. The distro supports your hardware.

Even that the question, or rumor, exist regarding that M$ Recall is not removable ... just shows how low the confidence and trust of M$ customers have dropped. IMHO 🙂
And Win 11 have some real junky stuff in it´s "OS".
Br
The simple answer is that WINDOWS is not mandatory. For most users, Windows isn't even the best option in 2025. With the M4 MacMini in the $1000 range, the price gap between MacOS and Windows has shrunk to the point of being negligeable, and Linux distros like LMDE and ZorinOS, have made Linux an intuitive and highly stable option, that in many ways surpasses Windows (and with no OS telemetry tracking, on a complete different level of privacy and security than is offered by Microsoft without system-slowing 3rd party TSRs*.)
Stop rewarding corporate bad behaviour and take control of your computer. Get rid of Co-Pilot and ReCall by getting rid of Windows once and for all. It's not rocket science and Microsoft is NOT your friend (friends don't make friends throw out perfectly good computers, to help hardware partners).
* Anti-virus software is still recommended for Linux, but the architecture makes it a less urgent installation. I would NEVER use a Windows system online for 1 minute without supplementing Defender with at least Malwarebytes.
Also you are greatly exaggerating the learning curve of modern Windows alternatives. I'm a retired grandpa, and have been having a ball in Linux (including arming myself with several Terminal commands). I have also installed it on a great many laptops for other geriatric casual users (my peers) and no one has had any difficulty adapting to its unique differences. Your suggestion is highly ageist. Old people are not stupid. When windows can do "sudo apt install xxx" we can talk.
Actually, Windows has winget now so let's talk.
that's epic! what are the most popular and easy to use distros among your peers if you don't mind me asking?
@@Dennis-ur4zu My distro of choice upon making the switch was Zorin OS (version 16 back then), but I started to get my friends to make the switch upon the release of Zorin 17. So they went in that direction under my advice (it is highly intuitive for a Windows users but includes Mac, Windows and Ubuntu like interfaces a single click away)
Most importantly it is rock solid, stable and just works (including on some fairly old hardware) and since I had grown familiar, I could provide support. (calls that never came)
After just over a year I'm still a new user, but I think Arch looks up my alley as a retirement-era learning project that would give me more direct control over the OS. so while I'm happy that I have other old farts quite happy with Zorin, I can see myself transitioning over to Arch over the next year.
BUT... I will note that while Wine provides a certain level of windows app compatibility, I advise folks not to install any version of Linux if they require specific proprietary Windows software for work or communications. Let Windows do Windows. There are enough Linux variants, most open source and free, that I don't really miss any Windows (or Adobe) software, and can open 99% of my files with alternative Linux software.
Sorry for being long winded, but I wanted to be as honest as possible.
@@Dennis-ur4zu Personally I use Linux Mint Cinnamon. It is probably one of the most easy to use Linux distributions around. But, as said, that's personally of course.
...a useful sponsored segment. Wait, what? Coool. 😋
Microsoft has yet to explain why taking periodic screenshots is a good way to backup your work? With One Drive, programs that automatically create backups while you work, thousands of backup software programs available, many for free, and 30 years of common sense users, what the heck do we need Recall for? It makes no sense whatsoever. It is, however a HUGE security risk. Is that the point?
Privacy is important microsoft should know it and should remove this feature and all other data collection features
If Microsoft had a modicum of respect for their customers they wouldn't be participating in all this mass surveillance BS anyway but.......I'm sure they're paid handsomely with our tax dollars to keep pushing Big Brother. What the heck do you think the Patriot act was for?
Oh. Recall got installed to a 12 years old PC at our work after an update last month. You can uninstall it from the Apps settings.
You can disable it at the command prompt. Microsoft has delayed recall
The command prompt?
You know the flaming us Linux users get over the command prompt? We are always being told Linux is about the command prompt (it isn't, ESPECIALLY if you use KDE!) and how retrograde the command prompt is and typing commands is an awful experience.. yadda, yadda yadda. [I use the command prompt to run pdfgrep. End.]
Now, it's OK for Windows users to have to drop to the command prompt to uninstall a feature nobody asked for?
By Windows users standards re: Linux this is a big "No, no good!"

Here FIRST!!! YEAH!
I hate recall, which is one of the reasons I haven’t switched to Windows 11. Also, the interface is really weird. I really appreciate you taking the time to show us how to get rid of it!
DLLs are used to inject some functionallity to a running process... so, these "innofensive" dlls in the recall folder might be capturing data from any process windows has them injected... also, you didn't show that disabling recall in fact do downgrade the file explorer to an older version, you just ommited it.
..which is why if/when I require Windows (maybe 5% of the time) I disconnect any data drives, disconnect the MX Linux/KDE-Plasma USB drive then boot into it - as long as both the data and USB boot drive as pulled (physically) MS cannot harvest data using AI agents and so forth.
I've been using MX Linux/KDE for about 4 years now and I notice a large improvement in speed as well as much lower RAM requirements running Linux - this wasn't the case not so long ago so MS is definitely harvesting data.
Isn't Windows Recall designed primarily, to give the user a more complete and better - RESTORE POINT - option, taking into account EVERYTHING that was open at that time?
No, its for AI agents to use kinda like Apple Intelligence. It will SCAN everything, compile it, and off to MS it goes for data harvesting by intelligence agencies, corporations, digital-twining, global governments. For instance with Apple it would scan the entire iPhone for pictures/photos to report back anything illegal (of course it gets expanded).
You'll note the push to get their hands on anything like photos, documents, desktop items, bio-metrics (like fingerprints to unlock in Hello) - once on the "cloud" (their servers) it can be processed and data harvested. They will BS people by saying "oh - but no one at MS will see or" -- but we all know AI isn't a "someone" but a "something".
Got any ideals to why my system not picking up 24H2, even that I doudle check for all updates and check anything that was off in the system regs
you are wrong. I have amd system and this latest update has it in spades. I've been investigating the latest push and it IS taking snapshots every 5 seconds when I'm using it despite me using DSM to turn it off. I'm still working on making it stop.
I am still using Windows 11 Pro RETAIL, version 23H2 on my PC, and I am even on their Windows Insider Programme and they have still yet to offer that update for me.
Oh I fixed my Windows Update, but now it says its not ready yet.
You put my mind at ease a little bit, however, because of Microsoft's "Intentional" mistake, that likely won't be fixed, unless it is fixed in a way that goes against us, they have pushed me to Linux. I am waiting to see how it pans out. Another podcast that I see on The You Tubes is "Security Now" with Steve Gibson. He's working on a way to completely remove Recall, and writing a program. And he has a great name for it, but I am sworn to secrecy. But this is more of the same "pattern" when it comes to Microsoft doing things they should not be doing, and they've been doing it since Windows 8, from key logging, to unremovable programs, like Internet Explorer and now Edge and even that vulgar Cortana in the earlier Windows 10. Remove her, and it broke search, and then she'd come back, but search would still be broke. She was very stubborn. It's like Microsoft didn't learn anything from that lawsuit and no one is making them comply with that ruling. Internet Explorer is still around and it keeps finding its way back in even after removing it by force, which is the only way to get it gone. Same nonsense with Edge.
My attitude is the same as yours. While I do have things to hide, like my privacy, my journals, my E-mails etc, it is nobodies damn business. If the 3 letter agencies want to pry the lid off my privacy, they can get a show cause and court order, then get me that way. We rely on these damn things too much. When I rise to power, I intend to change a lot of this. Microsoft will be regulated and they will have to be neutral. If customers want their stuff looked at and stored, then they can opt in. They can also opt out any time, with a simple switch. And those privacy settings, category after category and it always jumps back to the top with each change. Oy yoi,yoi. All that stuff will be OFF by defualt and only turned on if the user wants to use a feature that depends on it.
Anyway, I am on Linux for now and holding my breath to see what hell comes, be it in surveillance, and politics. However, I don't support what is, nor did I support the alternative, I "Feel" less financially burdened than I've been feeling. So hopefully, things will not be worse than they were 8 years ago. All I know is, the last 4 years has shown me I can't afford to live any longer.
Seriously, Windows Recall today is a worse entity than the startup to the Windows 8 Metro App screen was!
Yo mate, I am having issue with installing win 11 24H2 as I am getting that "media driver is missing" prompt at installation starting point. It never happened to me before. Right now, I am on 22H2 and I have ryzen 7840HS processor laptop... Any idea would be appreciated... However, I tried using different bootable makers and this ISO is debloated using NTlite and the current running version of my windows which is 22H2 was debloated using msmg toolkit.. Do you think if debloating is an issue? Thank You
Ok, but where are these screens shots? I cant find them anywhere in win 11.
They are only in Copilot+PC devices.
Everyone is worried about 24H2, but I am anxious that my laptop still doesn't have it. If it's going to break something, I'd rather it did it sooner rather than later.
Do you remember back when they said Internet Explorer couldn't be removed from Windows and then somebody did it?
BTW you on screen text missed the "name" from "featurename"
Yeah, someone else mentioned that too. I screwed up and don't have a way to fix it. Sorry about that. I'll be more careful in the future.
So if File Explorer has no dependencies in it's manifest (if it has a manifest), then what unknown weird spooky dependencies does File Explorer have?
Microsoft loves spying on those retired lunch ladies since they're the ones that don't watch videos like this.
it might be a cool idea to set up a dual boot, pull all personal data from windows and put it in linux instead. im so disappointed in windows because it's the only OS that runs VR, horizon 5 and halo infinite
No, Microsoft did not make a mistake. They deliberately did it to keep Recall in the system. They were very much aware that people will be deleting it, so they shuffled the dependency of some programs into the Recall folder.

Windows Recall when Windows Remember walks in:
I disagree. Get as many people off windows as possible. I am installing Linux Mint on all my older clients computers as I can. Some have special needs that needs a program in windows so I set up a virtual box with a windows say 11 install and after showing them 2 or 3 times to make sure it is set and working. They love it! Now if 70 and 80 year olds can run this, anyone can. I got my brother on it 2 years ago and he is no tech expert in any since and he loves it now. Even asked me to show him how to get rid of windows on his other laptop so he don't have to put up with it anymore. So please everyone, make the leap, it is not as scary as you think, start on Linux mint or mx-linux. You will love it.
I still can't get 24H2 to install on my 23H2 computer
Either wait for it or get the update assistant.
@@Mario583a: What's to wait for???
It is already released. I have it.
I still do not understand why Microsoft wants this Recall thing because most users are against this. The result is a community that is going to hate the Recall thing. So they have a reason to stay on 23H2 , or stay on windows 10.
Global governance and global bio-metric digital ID - they were told to. this way if you do not conform they cut off your digital carbon, social and mobility credits. They are moving towards MS Azure Sphere.
Odds are high that MS tied Recall to File Explorer on purpose. This smells like their old IE "bundling" during the days of Win95. Humans are great at repeating the past.
How to be (more) sure that recall doesn't get activated through updates. Install Win11 with the Rufus patch, install ExplorerPatcher and your system gets flagged as unsupported and you will only get security updates and no feature updates.
Wow. TH-cam *_really_* don't like me commenting on this channel - comment insta-deleted. Again.
Windows 10 IoT Enterprise LTSC 2021 is supported until 2032. That's all I'll say, if this comment even gets through.....
@-T--T- Right on. Except I went the Windows 11 IoT Enterprise LTSC 2024 route. Supported until 2034.
There will have to be an ability to disable Windows Recall for companies and individuals who deal with military ITAR contracts due to the sensitive nature of the information.
It's called opting in.
How can you tell if you have a Copiliot+ PC?
If you have a keyboard button with the Copilot logo on it.
Otherwise you do not have it.
@@azurestarton Keyboard I'm using didn't come with the computer. So is there another way?
@@rancid216 It runs on ARM. Do you have a Qualcomm, Intel or AMD CPU? Qualcomm are the only ones with Recall currently.
@@prman9984 11th Gen Intel i7-11700
You are using a SLASH. SLASH and BACKSLASH are the two keys. "FORWARD" is redundant. like Free Gift or Past History.
Clearly you've never worked a PC help desk.
It doesn't even exist on my computer: "Feature name recall is unknown." is what I get as an error message when trying to enter your command line.
See @2:45
CyberCPU Tech: First, how do you know if your laptop has Windows Recall?
...OK, but I thought a DLL file can be run as an .exe, because it is in fact a executable file...
If I remember well... you can call a file DLL or exe notRecall.DLL does not mean it is not!
Anyway we will see what Microsoft comes up with... I am still on 23H2 debloated version with a HDD (not sad) usually to 0% when idle...
No, DLL files are not executable. DLL stands for dynamic link library. It's essentially a library of code that can be used by an executable file.
For instance every application uses the print dialog box. But you wouldn't want to code a print dialog box for every application. Therefore you code it once and store it in a dynamic link library and then whenever you need it you just reference it.
@@CyberCPU but my c# app dll file can be launched with dotnet project.dll thought ....
@@CyberCPU Well, they can be used by executable...
All the more reason to stay on Win 10.
Do you think cleaning lady knows how to run DISM? Cleaning lady probably doesn't use anything special in Windows that will make her transfer to Linux hard... Browsers are same, Office support is there... She have no need to go to terminal, as she had no need to go to command prompt...
I've got Windows updates turned off by disabling the automatic download via a metered connection, and I've setup my LAN to have a metered connection. Since several months now, I haven't gotten a single update yet that got installed behind my back and so won't 24H2 and Recall/CoPilot along with it. I just checked my pc via the displayed dism command and it says Recall isn't a known feature on my system. I can still install updates manually though by going into the update settings and click a button to download each update separately. Not going to do that though as my Win7 system worked fine even after 13 years of never installing a single update. And so will my new Win11 system. I paid for windows and I paid for my pc, so I should be able to decide what gets installed and what runs, and not Microsoft. If they want it to run, they better repay my Win11 installation and my entire pc. If they claim it's THEIR computer, they should pay for it, not me.
And they'll force install it anyways on even non-copilot enabled pc's by writing a software version of the required hardware so it can run on any pc, albeit slower. Just like some software has software-rendering instead of hardware-enabled rendering.
Recall data folder. Create it and restrict permissions. Can't store data. Online search for folder name and location.
I was hoping someone here can help me figure out the problem with my core 2 quad Dell Optiplex previously it ran games like Fortnite and applications like cinebench R15 and MSI combuster none of these apps will even launch I did get fur Mark to launch but only before I installed the video driver where the Microsoft basic display adapter was present it opened but would not run after I installed the video cards update again none of these applications will run The machine was previously running on Windows 11 23H2 and I figured maybe it was that so I went back to Windows 10 same problem any help or insight would be greatly appreciated The machine runs fine besides that
The fact it’s even installed, on or not, is wrong. It can use the GPU an NPU is not required.
Amidst the controversy around Windows 11's new (mostly-unwanted) Copilot+ features, a developer on Twitter has taken the discussion a step further by revealing that one of the flagship new features, Recall, doesn't require the presence of a powerful NPU after all. This makes sense, though, considering Recall's main functions seem to be automated screen captures and the ability to search through those screen caps' text - two things that modern hardware has been capable of for a while, now.
Everything can be removed with sufficient force.
sorry but i dont believe "its a atiny mistake" by MS. a canary windows 11 copy had a built-in UNISTALLER from add/remove programs for WINDOWS RECALL. next update was totally erased from existance. those files are there because one day MS will go "ow yeah now recall MUST be installed and enabled or else explorer wont work" and that is when i install any linux version where i can proton my games out.
You can just run a script to remove it. TitusTech claimed it broke file explorer but he is wrong at least in my case.
You should first give short explanation what is this "recall" and what is this "copilot"...
PLZ make a video of how we can stop Google's...shenanigans...with video buffering on youtube on OTHER non chromium based browsers.
I don't wanna be shown how to turn it off
I wanna be shown how to outright _remove_ it
Simple: insert Debian USB stick, reboot, repartitioning disk, install, no Recall anymore …
no fedora or linux mint , debian is for boomer
@ I was on CentOS until it got killed
my friend did remove it with script and it was successfully removed for him
Just life in the EU, here they can roll it out because of GDPR
That doesn't mean You have to allow it to run. 😁✌🖖
First, Microsoft has enabled disabled features in a software update dozens of times. Second, a hacker got it running on machines without an NPU. Slower, but it worked. I switched to Zorin Linux for the machine where I need security for banking, etc. I do NOT recommend doing anything sensitive on Windows anymore. Because it only takes a hidden update to record everything you are doing without your knowledge or consent.
since you "agreed to the terms of use license" when installing windows then they kind of have "your permission and consent"
@@jokerphoenix3788 Hm, no. That's like saying: "So you went to vote to vote for the president. Well, that means that you gave us the consent to switch you vote for X with a vote for Y. Hey, you want to have a president, right?"
The point is, you don't change the rules of the game while playing. If I pay for a ticket to see Opera, I don't agree with it being switched into a Metal show. That would be false advertising amongst other things.
4:10 "and Client.ATX right here" wait.... that is Client.A*I* X not Client.A*T*X. Is that really the folder you were supposed to be checking?
Yes
No Recall for me I switched to Linux in April Best move I made 😊
Saved loads of money for software renewals subscriptions that I don't need
I've had no problems in switching 😊😊
*nix solves all that. And today it's just so easy to install and use. There is no insures that Recall still copies files... Easy solution WinUtil by Chris Titus Tech, make a Microwin version, or after a normal install just use the tool to disable it.
I disable recall from the editor
