Microsoft’s highly anticipated Windows 11 24H2 update has both delighted and worried users. While the long-rumored artificial intelligence-supported ‘Recall’ feature is finally available, the removal of this innovation by users reveals another problem. Here’s what you need to do and what you need to know…
Windows 11 broke File Explorer!
Windows Recall draws attention as a new feature that records the activities on users’ computers in the form of a timeline and makes them searchable. However, privacy-conscious users and technology enthusiasts are concerned that this feature may pose a risk to the protection of personal data…
According to the latest information, disabling the Recall feature makes the modern interface of Windows File Explorer unusable. Users who want to use the new features of File Explorer, such as the dark mode and the tab feature, must not turn off Recall at all. This forces users to choose between privacy and ease of use.
Microsoft had initially said that Recall would be optional. However, the new update shows that the feature has become almost mandatory. Experts say Microsoft will not back down on integrating artificial intelligence technologies into Windows, but it should be more sensitive to user privacy.
In this sense, if you want to use File Explorer effectively, we recommend that you do not disable Recall for now. You can share your views on the subject with us in the comments.
