Removing Windows Recall breaks File Explorer in latest 24H2 update - NotebookCheck.net News - eviltoast

I wish I was a billion dollar company who gets away with stuff like this. Just generally break people’s systems, add spyware, lie to users, treat them like shit.

All while making even more money and my stocks keep on going up, because AI, Ai, Ai…

    So, some important context: you can disable Recall still. The only thing you can’t do is delete the files for it.

    So it’s another potential attack surface for malware to target, something that Microsoft could enable in an update (so use Group Policy to disable it, they way they give companies with legal requirements to do so properly), and some space on your harddrive wasted.

    This is NOT Microsoft requiring people to enable Recall for Explorer to work.

    Still an egregious amount of bullshit, but not as much as the headline might lead you to believe.

      I’m wondering how the dod is going to fix this. I’ll have to look at their stuff files.
