It sounds like Microsoft has capitulated after all the criticism by security experts and made "Recall" an opt-in feature. They have also adopted new security measures. Recall data will remain encrypted on the local device until authenticated with Windows Hello.

Stardock is well aware of Explorer Patcher. It relies on old Windows 10 code which is still resides in Windows 11, however, this code will be deprecated in Windows 11 24H2, and EP will no longer work. Start11 allows putting the taskbar at the top, but not the right or left.

Reply to Windows 11 24H2 Controversial New "Recall" Feature in Stardock Software Stardock Forums

I did post a suggestion (below) to set the default for "Recall" to OFF. We'll see how many upvotes it gets in the next few weeks. I'll let you guys know. Please make OFF the default setting for "Recall" I just don't understand why ON is the default setting for "Recall." This is such a controversial addition to Windows 11, and there are way to many privacy concerns, especially for users who will never be aware that it is on.

I just don't understand why they want to make "ON" the default setting! I'm headed the Feedback Hub to upvote as many listings as possible. EDIT: Surprisingly, there were mostly users wanting access to "Recall" without a Copilot+ PC. I guess we are the minority here.

from TECHSPOT 06/04/2024 Security researcher Kevin Beaumont says... "Windows Recall stores its data in a wide-open SQLite plaintext database. While it is true that this is encrypted while logged out of Windows, this only protects it from someone physically stealing your computer, which Beaumont points out is not how hackers generally conduct their business. On the contrary, Recall is highly vulnerable to "InfoStealer trojans." Additionally, Recall does not censor or o
