You’ll be getting Recall in November, if you want it – and Microsoft has made a lot of changes on the security front.

I’m excited because I think the security community is going to get how much we’ve pushed [into Recall].” One of Microsoft’s first big changes is that the company isn’t forcing people to use Recall if they don’t want to.

Windows Recall was the talk of the town when it was announced alongside the launch of the Surface Laptop 7 and Surface Pro 11 PCs in June. Many poked fun at it, including myself, calling it a Black Mirror-esque feature.

In its latest attempt to address AI security and privacy concerns, Microsoft provided new details about the underlying architecture for its upcoming Recall feature, which promises to let Windows users quickly locate information they’ve previously viewed on their PCs with help from artificial intelligence.
