Microsoft Recall is now an explorer.exe dependency - eviltoast

TLDR:
Windows 11 v24H2 and beyond will have Recall installed on every system. Attempting to remove Recall will now break some file explorer features such as tabs.

    Malware could also reinstall it to be fair, or just create screenshots on its own.

    Still smells fishy that Explorer has it as a dependency, “disabled” or not.

      Recall is malware, at least according to Malwarebytes!

      Malware, or “malicious software,” is an umbrella term that refers to any malicious program or code that is harmful to systems.
