Microsoft enabled the notorious "Recall" with the last update (for Windows 11 copilot+ enabled pcs only). It's part of the OS and can't be uninstalled. This software stores metadata about EVERYTHING that appears on your screen, including passwords/urls/images/videos/any messages you send or emails etc
To disable this gross spyware, run the following as admin on the command line:
Dism /Online /Disable-Feature
/Featurename:Recall
@ciaranmak For me, this reports that "Feature name Recall is unknown". I'm guessing that means I don't have it at all?
@aceade Yup, Windows 11 only feature I believe or you haven't yet updated 
@ciaranmak How fortunate that my PC isn't "capable" of running Windows 11. Oh noes, whatever shall I do?????
@aceade @ciaranmak you can escape the matrix and switch to linux, or just keep running win10. there are computers still alive out there on windows xp and vista, so i'm pretty sure you'll buy a new computer sooner than windows 10 becomes completely obsolete.
@caffeine @ciaranmak I already have a couple of other PCs running Linux Mint, so I was just taking the piss.
Maybe I should have added more 1s and exclamation marks into it 
@aceade @ciaranmak ah my bad i completely missed the context cues there lol
