Once you perform a search, Recall will analyze the images and present the more relevant information from a particular moment.<\/p>\n<p>By default, Recall doesn&#8217;t record certain situations, such as when using <a href=\"https:\/\/pureinfotech.com\/tag\/microsoft-edge\">Microsoft Edge<\/a> in incognito mode and material protected with Digital Rights Management (DRM). However, you can also exclude specific apps and websites from being tracked by Recall. For example, if you usually use Notepad as a temporary clipboard to cut and paste temporary sensitivity information (such as passwords, account numbers, etc.), you can use the Recall settings to prevent the feature from taking snapshots of the application.<\/p>\n<p>In this <a href=\"https:\/\/pureinfotech.com\/tag\/how-to\">guide<\/a>, I will teach you the steps to manage the filter settings to exclude apps and websites from the Recall feature on <a href=\"https:\/\/pureinfotech.com\/windows-11-24h2-new-features\">Windows 11 24H2<\/a> or higher releases. You can <a href=\"https:\/\/pureinfotech.com\/enable-recall-windows-11\/\">enable Recall<\/a> with these instructions and <a href=\"https:\/\/pureinfotech.com\/disable-recall-windows-11\/\">these steps to disable it<\/a>.<\/p>\n<ul class=\"toc\">\n<li><a href=\"#exclude_apps_recall_windows11\">Filter out apps from Recall on Windows 11<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#exclude_sites_recall_windows11\">Filter out websites from Recall on Windows 11<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 id=\"exclude_apps_recall_windows11\">Filter out apps from Recall on Windows 11<\/h2>\n<p>To exclude apps from the Recall feature on Windows 11, use these steps:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>\n<p>Open <strong>Settings<\/strong> on Windows 11.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p>Click on <strong>Privacy &amp;
