Microsoft has published new details regarding the Windows Recall feature. Due to criticism and security issues, it was postponed for unknown time. Now the Redmond software giant introduces an improved version of Recall, with intention to start its testing this fall.
The company says it continues its work on Recall. The first public builds of Windows 11 with Recall will be available to Windows Insiders in October 2024. Microsoft promises to share more details about the feature closer to the start of testing.

"With a commitment to delivering a trustworthy and secure Recall (preview) experience on Copilot+ PCs for customers, we’re sharing an update that Recall will be available to Windows Insiders starting in October. As previously shared on June 13, we have adjusted our release approach to leverage the valuable expertise of our Windows Insider community prior to making Recall available for all Copilot+ PCs. Security continues to be our top priority and when Recall is available for Windows Insiders in October we will publish a blog with more details.", says the blog post.
Windows Recall is a new feature for Copilot+ PCs that automatically takes screenshots, analyzes content, and enables semantic search to find any information a user has ever seen on their computer. Recall uses AI models integrated into Windows 11 to capture most content displayed or interacted with on your computer. A user-friendly timeline enables you to navigate through these captured snapshots, providing a convenient way to review your activities on a specific day using your PC.
Experts who got access to the initial version of Windows Recall quickly discovered that the feature saves data in an unencrypted form. In the initial implementation, Recall is considered a privacy invasion and insecure by many. So Microsoft had paused the rollout.
