Microsoft Enhances Security for Controversial Windows Recall on Copilot+ PCs
Sep 27, 2024, 05:15 PM
Microsoft has announced significant security and privacy upgrades to its controversial Windows Recall feature, an AI tool that creates a record of user activities on PCs. The updates include storing data in an encrypted VBS Enclave, filtering out sensitive information such as passwords, credit card info, and national IDs, and requiring Windows Hello verification for access. Additionally, users will now have the option to uninstall the feature entirely on Copilot+ PCs. These changes come in response to criticism that the tool posed a privacy risk and made users vulnerable to hackers. David Weston, head of enterprise and OS security at Microsoft, emphasized that the new Recall is an opt-in experience, backed by virtualization-based security. Critics had previously labeled the feature a 'privacy nightmare.'
