Microsoft announces sweeping changes to controversial Recall feature for Windows 11 Copilot+ PCs

Microsoft has significantly overhauled the security architecture of its Recall feature for Copilot+ PCs running Windows 11. Key changes include making Recall opt-in only, restricting it to secured-core PCs with TPM 2.0, encrypting snapshot data, and implementing strict access controls requiring biometric authentication. The redesigned feature aims to address privacy and security concerns raised by critics after its initial announcement in May 2024.
