The debut of Microsoft Recallthe photographic memory of Windows 11 For the Copilot+ PC, it will take a few more months. Those from Redmond have again postponed the deployment of their much-touted artificial intelligence-powered feature in order to ensure that the experience is “safe and reliable.”
As reported The Verge, Microsoft has delayed the release of Recall in Windows 11 until December. After the initial delay following controversy over the tool’s privacy problems, the company’s intention was to begin testing it in October with members of the Windows Insider program. However, we reached the last day of the month without any news in this regard.
According to what a Microsoft executive told the aforementioned media, they have chosen to take extra time to continue refining the experience with Recall. “Originally planned for October, Recall will now be available as a preview for Windows Insiders on Copilot+ PCs starting in December,” the firm said.
So the general release of Windows 11 photographic memory is still far from being realized. If there are no new postponements and Microsoft begins testing Recall only in December, a final version may not be available to common users. until the beginning of 2025 as the most optimistic date.
Microsoft will begin testing Recall on Copilot+ PCs running Windows 11 in December
Recall deployment has been a real pain headshot for Microsoft. Those from Redmond announced the Windows 11 photographic memory with great fanfare, and promised to launch it in June with the arrival of the first Copilot+ PCs on the market. However, the AI-powered feature soon sparked controversy.
Microsoft received a barrage of complaints over the serious privacy issues Recall presented, as well as for delivering it enabled by default on new Windows 11 laptops powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon X Elite and Plus processors.
The company made several modifications that were not enough to appease criticism and finally chose to delay its launch until October, the month in which it would begin testing it in the Windows Insider program. As we already mentioned, that didn’t materialize either and those interested in trying Microsoft Recall now have to wait at least until the end of 2024.
One of the latest news we learned about this technology was that its developers will finally allow it to be uninstalled from Windows 11. Microsoft had said that, although it was possible to disable Recall completely, it could not be permanently eliminated. But then he backed down and announced that it would be possible delete completely both the application and the AI models that run locally on the PCs for their operation.
Microsoft will surely offer soon a more precise date for the debut of Recall testing on Windows Insider. If the preparations do not suffer new setbacks, closer to December we should have specific information on what day it will be available for the testers.
