Microsoft is finally rolling out its controversial Windows Recall feature after multiple delays due to privacy and security concerns.

Windows Recall is Microsoft’s AI-powered feature that takes near-constant screenshots of what the user is doing and then makes the content searchable via natural language queries. The company first announced the feature to much fanfare and enthusiasm from company execs, but quickly faced growing concerns over the cybersecurity and privacy implications. Cybersecurity researcher Kevin Beaumont went so far as to say the feature is “going to deliberately set cybersecurity back a decade & endanger customers.”

Despite the warnings, after multiple attempts to improve the feature, Microsoft is moving forward with the rollout.

[Recall (preview)] New! You work across so many apps, sites, and documents it can be hard to remember where you saw something you want to get back to. Recall (preview)* saves you time by offering an entirely new way to search for things you’ve seen or done on your PC securely. With the AI capabilities of Copilot+ PCs, it’s now possible to quickly find and get back to any app, website, image, or document just by describing its content. To use Recall, you will need to opt-in to saving snapshots, which are images of your activity, and enroll in Windows Hello to confirm your presence so only you can access your snapshots. You are always in control of what snapshots are saved and can pause saving snapshots at any time. As you use your Copilot+ PC throughout the day working on documents or presentations, taking video calls, and context switching across activities, Recall will take regular snapshots and help you find things faster and easier. When you need to find or get back to something you’ve done previously, open Recall and authenticate with Windows Hello. When you’ve found what you were looking for, you can reopen the application, website, or document, or use Click to Do to act on any image or text in the snapshot you found.

Microsoft warns that not all customers will receive the new features at the same time, as the rollout will proceed gradually over the coming days.

Only time will tell if Recall lives up to the hype, or if it results in a major setback to cybersecurity. Despite the company’s best efforts to secure Recall and the data it stores, there’s no denying that Recall will be a prime target for bad actors, as its data represents the mother lode of sensitive information.
