Windows 11's Recall AI is now rolling out on Copilot+ PCs

Microsoft plans to release Recall, a tool driven by artificial intelligence, to all Windows 11 Copilot+ PCs via the May 2025 Patch Tuesday update (KB5055627), after nearly an year.

With Recall, people can search and review content shown on their display using regular language, even without knowing file titles. It was first presented in May 2024 as an important function for artificial intelligence personal computers with Snapdragon processors.

Recall received disapproval related to privacy worries - specifically, capturing and saving private information such as passwords. Now Microsoft stopped the release, solved safety problems, made the function voluntary along with improved blocking of confidential content. The feature ships with Windows 11 Build 26100.
