This solves only the most recent of privacy concerns that were only discovered with it recently. The primary concern is the core ‘feature’ itself: Windows recording everything you do and look at.
People work with your personal data on a regular basis, you better hope not a single one of them have this ‘feature’ enabled.
It‘s like how the EU Commission is promising to keep connections secure while outlawing encryption. Utterly ridiculous.
Time to recall “Recall”. And fix Windows 11 and repackage as W12 while they’re at it.
Making it opt-in is a much better way to offer this ridiculous “feature”. But I wager there will be future shenanigans. MS is very sneaky and passive-aggressive about pushing sketchy unwanted shit on its customers.
“whoops, a bug turned it on for everyone. But it’s okay, just manually opt-out again, haha. sorry. our bad”
Yep, it’ll be opt in until they can turn it on without people noticing
Too late. I deleted windows from every pc in my house today. Even my computer challenged wife is using linux now.
The problem is Microsoft continues to show their cards and where they are taking things. Thanks but no thanks.
I can’t imagine this feature is enabled on Windows 11 Enterprise, right?
Not with this announcement, but it was.
Damn. 😣 Thanks for answering the question.
Can we just stop calling it a feature? Nobody asked for this to be a core part of the OS except MS tech support.
