Microsoft Recall is now an explorer.exe dependency

Technology@lemmy.world – 1136 points – 1 months ago

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.

Guaranteed this requirement exists to make Recall impossible to uninstall, and for no other reason.

Or maybe it's so you can use it in search box in explorer.exe

I'm skeptical that irrevocably tying the two together is the only or best technological solution to wanting it in the search box.
