Windows Recall Still Has Major Issues

Microsoft may be rolling out Windows Recall, but the controversial feature still has major issues, including not saving snapshots.

After multiple delays, Microsoft has begun rolling out Windows Recall to Windows Insiders. Unfortunately, the feature continues to be plagued with issues, including not performing its basic functionality of saving snapshots.

The Verge’s Tom Warren posted about the issue on Bluesky.

anyone else having issues with Recall? I can’t get it to save snapshots at all

Based on the responses to Warren’s post, it seems many users are still not overly enthused with the feature, with some pointing out the cybersecurity nightmare it poses.

Recall takes screenshots of everything the user does, making them searchable via natural language prompts. Unfortunately, the initial implementation had major security issues. While Microsoft has worked to address them, cybersecurity experts fear the tech could still pose a significant risk. If nothing else, the plethora of data stored by Recall will be a high-value target for bad actors.

Ultimately, if Microsoft is having trouble getting Recall’s basic functionality working, it doesn’t bode well for the feature’s future.
