Microsoft Recall is now an explorer.exe dependency
youtube.com
TLDR:
Windows 11 v24H2 and beyond will have Recall installed on every system. Attempting to remove Recall will now break some file explorer features such as tabs.

But how else are you gonna bring down battery life to be on par with x86?
/s
lol. Amusingly, my wife's Dell Latitude 7400 with an i3 has much better stand by battery life than my 7x slim. The slim does wake up a ton faster - by the time the lid is open it's already doing facial unlock and it it sees me it unlocks immediately and is "fully awake", but I suspect this is achieved at the expense of more battery consumption while sleeping.
The 7x slim loses around 5% / day when asleep :(
Which OSes? Newer windows relies on newer CPU sleep states in that it doesn't actually suspend to disk/hibernate but just sleeps, trickling the battery.
Both are windows 11. It wouldn't surprise me if the older laptop doesn't support the new sleep state. I would personally trade slower wakeup for less battery use while sleeping. I don't use the laptop every day and it's kind of a bummer when I turn it on and find out it lost 20% of its charge between uses.
Even when it's "shutdown" the Lenovo 7x slim doesn't appear to actually be off.
