You're wrong about Windows Recall — How Microsoft keeps your data safe on Copilot+ PCs

Surface Laptop 7.

Since Microsoft announced Windows 11's big next-gen AI feature push, the internet has been up in arms over Windows Recall, the company's magnum opus AI experience that's exclusive to Copilot+ PCs launching this summer. While some responses have been sane, a large percentage of people have wasted no time spreading FUD (fear, uncertainty, and doubt) over this new feature without really understanding it.

In case you've been living under a rock: Windows Recall is a new feature that will take snapshots of your screen every few seconds and use on-device AI to analyze and triage that content. This allows you to semantically search for anything and everything you've ever done on your computer using natural language, and is arguably the next generation of search of Windows.
