The Recall feature in Windows 11 is one of the new features of Windows 11 released for Microsoft's AI-specialized device ' Copilot+ PC ', which makes it possible to search snapshots using AI running locally. However, since Recall can 'record all operations on the PC', and the database that stores the snapshots is not encrypted, many voices have been raised pointing out privacy concerns.

Microsoft has announced that it will delay the release of the Recall feature after many security researchers expressed concerns about it, and will instead provide a preview of it in the Windows Insider program in October 2024.

And in build KB5041865 released on August 27, 2024, it is now possible to enable or disable Recall in the 'Turn Windows features on or off' section of the Control Panel, according to Deskmodder.de, a German IT news site.
This means that the Recall feature can be uninstalled from Windows.
However, Brandon LeBlanc, a senior product manager for Windows at Microsoft, told The Verge, 'We are aware of an issue where Recall is incorrectly listed in 'Turn Windows features on or off.' This issue will be fixed in a future update.'
However, The Verge says that in order to comply with the Digital Markets Act in the EU, the Recall feature may be uninstalled in the EU version of Windows 11. In fact, the EU version of Windows has added an option to uninstall Edge, the web browser installed by default on Windows, and also allows you to remove the feature that enables web searches using Bing in the start menu.
