Microsoft, postponed last year, but this year, strengthened by security measures to finally presented the recall feature to the users of Copilot+ PC. This new vehicle supported by artificial intelligence makes it possible to easily return to users’ past activities by analyzing the computer usage history through screenshots. The feature comes off by default in the Copilot+ version of Windows 11 and can only be activated with user confirmation. In addition to Recall, developed search and visual text -oriented -oriented click to do feature was announced at the same time.
Recall works through a timeline integrated into the Windows operating system. The system records the operations performed by the user on the device as a screenshot at regular intervals and makes it easier to search by categorizing these images. Microsoft emphasizes that all records are kept encrypted on the device and are not transferred to the cloud. This approach is considered as a choice that emphasizes user privacy. However, there are still some question marks about privacy.
Recall’s main objective is to facilitate the transition between the computer transactions and to ensure that the sought -after content is found faster. Instead of finding a document they have opened in the past or a web page they have opened in the past, they can directly access it through this timeline. This offers a time -saving function, especially for professional users working intensively. However, the capacity of the system to distinguish the sensitive content from time to time can give controversial results. For this reason, users need to manually determine which applications will not be displayed.
Microsoft made Recall compulsory for data encryption and biometric identity to increase the safety.
In order to use Recall, Windows hello must be enabled on the device. In other words, users cannot use this feature without activating at least one of the biometric verification methods such as face recognition or fingerprint. Nevertheless, some security experts believe that the fact that the feature can be opened with a four -digit PIN may create a weakness in the system. Microsoft argues that it is being sensitive and the system is closed to external access because it works local. However, security researchers emphasize that data safety should be followed carefully especially on shared computers.
Another important innovation of Recall is that it provides a more natural user experience with the artificial intelligence -supported search interface. Now users can search on their computers without having to know the file names or exactly what they’re looking for. For example, when the search is made with such an expression such as bütün brown dog photograph I recorded last month ”, the system can show the appropriate results. This development provides great convenience, especially for users working with visual content. The more accurate and meaningful of the search results increases Windows’s overall use efficiency.
On the other hand, the new feature “Click to Do ır aims to transform the user experience. This vehicle, which is activated by pressing the Windows key and the left mouse key simultaneously, allows you to process on the screen or visuals seen on the screen. Users can summarize a text or remove an unwanted object from a photo. This feature initially works only on Qualcomm processor devices with full function. In AMD and Intel -supported systems, it is planned to be commissioned in the next few months.
Microsoft’s new vehicles have not yet been commissioned in European Union countries and in some countries including the European Economic Area. In countries such as Iceland, Lihtenştayn and Norway, the use of these features was postponed to the following period. It is stated that this decision is related to the process of compliance with regional data regulations. Microsoft announced that localized versions of features such as Recall and click to do will gradually be presented in different languages and countries. For this reason, users in Türkiye can use Recall with Turkish language support.
Microsoft says that users should have information about the feature in order to make Recall’s potential. Particularly on how the system works, which data collects and how to protect, detailed documentation has been presented. Users can determine which applications they do not want to display from the Windows Settings menu. In addition, the saved data can be deleted if requested or automatic cleaning can be done at regular intervals. These options allow users to hold control.
This new system evolves into a structure that can analyze user habits and offer personalized suggestions through this analysis. For example, frequently used applications or frequently visited sites can be found for future transactions. This is considered as part of Microsoft’s strategy to transform Windows Windows not only an operating system, but also to interact with the user. However, despite all these developments, the necessity of keeping the user’s data control still continues to be one of the main priorities.
Although Recall and other new features offer important innovations in terms of technical terms, users need to carefully evaluate these systems. Leaving Recall open, especially in common devices, may cause personal data to be displayed by unwanted persons. Therefore, it is of great importance that system managers and end users act consciously. It can be said that these risks can be reduced to a great extent thanks to Microsoft’s privatization options. Nevertheless, each user needs to determine his own privacy limits and act accordingly.
