Windows Recall is now available to test in limited preview
After a series of delays, Microsofts Windows Recall feature is now available in a limited preview for Copilot+ PCs.Recall, which takes regular snapshots of a users screento provide a searchable timeline of actions, drew criticism from security and privacy experts when it was unveiled earlier this year.On Friday, Microsoft announced a new Windows 11 build for Windows Insiders Dev Channel that includes Recall and Click To Do,another Copilot+ featurein preview that provides an interactive overlay on a users screen.The number of Windows Insiders testing the features is likely to be small at this stage, asWindows 11 Insider PreviewBuild 26120.2415 (KB5046723)can only be accessed on Copilot+ PCswith a Qualcomm Snapdragon chip. Support for devices running AMD and Intel chips is coming soon, Microsoft said in ablog post.The announcement marks the next step toward a full release for a feature that waslabeled a privacy nightmareupon its announcement in May.A planned rollout in June was postponed in response, and Microsoft has attempted toaddress security and privacy concernswith several updates. This includes making the feature opt-in, requiring biometric authentication with Windows Hello prior to use, blocking detection of personal details such as credit card details and passwords, and the addition of avirtualization-based security enclave (VBS Enclave) to secure data on a users device.
