  1. Why does the Copilot Recall 'Save snapshots' option revert to off in Windows 11?


    I'm experiencing an issue with the Copilot Recall feature in Windows 11. The "Save snapshots" option reverts back to off instantly when I try to enable it. There are no error messages or feedback, and this feature worked previously. I've tried toggling the option multiple times, but it doesn't stay enabled. How can I resolve this issue?

  2. How to DELETE Recall and ALL AI PERMANENTLY

    Hey Belinda,

    I'm Sumit, and I'm here to help you out on the Microsoft Community.

    I'm not exactly sure where you came across this, but the Recall feature is actually only for newer Copilot+ PCs announced recently. This feature won't be available for existing retail PCs running on Intel or AMD.

    Just to clear things up, even if you do plan on getting a Copilot PC, Microsoft isn't going to force it on you. You'll have the option to toggle it on or off.

    Edit:23/05/24

    To help provide you with that "photographic" memory, Windows saves snapshots of your screen periodically. You can quickly search your snapshots to find things on your Copilot+ PC. For example, content you've seen in apps, websites, images, and documents. Recall doesn't record audio or save continuous video.

    You're always in control of what's saved as a snapshot. You can disable saving snapshots, pause temporarily, filter applications, and delete your snapshots at any time.

    To help maintain your privacy, Recall processes your content locally on the Copilot+ PC and securely stores it on your device. This page will help you understand how you can control your Recall experience.

    During setup of your new Copilot+ PC, and for each new user, you're informed about Recall and given the option to manage your Recall and snapshots preferences

    You can turn on or off saving snapshots at any time by going to Settings > Privacy & security > Recall & snapshots. You can also pause snapshots temporarily by selecting the Recall icon in the system tray on your PC and selecting the pause option.

    We built privacy and security into Recall's design from the ground up. With Copilot+ PCs, you get powerful AI that runs locally on your device. No internet or cloud connections are required or used to save and analyze snapshots. Your snapshots aren't sent to Microsoft. Recall AI processing occurs locally, and your snapshots are securely stored on your local device only.

    Snapshots are encrypted by Device Encryption or BitLocker, which are enabled by default on Windows 11. Recall doesn't share snapshots with other users that are signed into Windows on the same device. Microsoft can't access or view the snapshots.

    Is it possible to just not have Recall on my computer

    System requirements for Recall

    Your PC needs the following minimum system requirements for Recall:

    • A Copilot+ PC
    • 16 GB RAM
    • 8 logical processors
    • 256 GB storage capacity
    • To enable Recall, you’ll need at least 50 GB of storage space free
    • Saving screenshots automatically pauses once the device has less than 25 GB of storage space

    Shop Copilot+ PCs | Microsoft

    Are the Copilot+ PC experiences available on all Windows 11 PCs?

    These features require powerful neural processing units (NPUs)—a specialized computer chip for AI-intensive processes—that are unique to the Copilot+ PC class of devices.

    If your PC isn't one of these with an NPU on the Snapdragon® X Series processor, it simply won't run Recall or any of these other Copilot+ PC features, so you don't even have the option to ruse these.

    Guess you're badly behind the times for true AI computing, eh?

    I want Copilot+ removed from my machine.

    Hi Michael,

    This is just a classic case of misinformation spread on the Internet. Recall is an exclusive feature only for new Copilot+ devices. It is not coming to all of the PCs.

    Recall is an upcoming preview experience exclusive to Copilot+ PCs it is not available for every PC.

    To help maintain your privacy, Recall processes your content locally on the Copilot+ PC
