Windows 11 now lets EU users export Recall data – if they still trust it

techspot.com Alfonso Maruccia 2025-09-30 01:45:00

Editor's take: Microsoft is testing a new Recall "export experience" for unpaid beta testers in the Windows Insider program that it was forced to build to comply with European laws. That said, we still believe every Windows user with a sane mind should simply disable and uninstall the entire Recall mess – for good. Microsoft recently released a new Windows 11 Preview Build to the Beta Channel for Windows Insiders (KB5060816). The update includes a significant addition for owners of Copilot+ PCs

OpenAI and Microsoft like to present themselves as the power couple of Silicon Valley, but behind closed doors, it’s looking increasingly like a distraught and loveless marriage. The two companies, which are bound together by cash flows and an entwined product base, have been undergoing a turbulent negotiation surrounding OpenAI’s desire for a shorter leash and the opportunity to turn itself into a for-profit company.
