In short, the company will be adding several extra protection layers.

Also, you will have a new setting during the setup to enable or disable the feature even before getting to the desktop.<\/p>\n<h2>Windows Recall AI upcoming security changes<\/h2>\n<p>Right from the start, the Windows 11 Setup experience (or the Out-of-box Experience (OOBE)) will include a setting that clearly helps users choose to turn the Recall AI feature on or off.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_169350\"  class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-169350\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/pureinfotech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/windows-oobe-recall-option.webp?resize=827%2C524&#038;quality=78&#038;strip=all&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"OOBE Windows Recall setting\" width=\"827\" height=\"524\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/pureinfotech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/windows-oobe-recall-option.webp?w=1024&amp;quality=78&amp;strip=all&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/pureinfotech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/windows-oobe-recall-option.webp?resize=300%2C190&amp;quality=78&amp;strip=all&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/pureinfotech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/windows-oobe-recall-option.webp?resize=906%2C574&amp;quality=78&amp;strip=all&amp;ssl=1 906w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/pureinfotech.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/windows-oobe-recall-option.webp?resize=150%2C95&amp;quality=78&amp;strip=all&amp;ssl=1 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 827px) 100vw, 827px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">OOBE Windows Recall setting \/ Image: Microsoft<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Originally, Microsoft was planning to enable the controversial feature by default, but that&#8217;s no longer the case.<\/p>\n<p>Also, the controversial feature will now be tied to <a href=\"https:\/\/pureinfotech.com\/setup-windows-hello-facial-recognition-windows-11\/\">Windows Hello<\/a>, which means that if you don&#8217;t configure a PIN, face, or fingerprint as an authentication method, you won&#8217;t be able to enable the Recall AI feature.<\/p>\n<p>Once you turn on the feature, the system will require &#8220;proof of presence&#8221; to access the &#8220;Recall&#8221; app, meaning that you will have to authenticate using Windows Hello to access your timeline.

If you leave the timeline open, other people may be able to access your information if you step away from the computer.<\/p>\n<p>Microsoft has also taken a more aggressive approach to encrypting the data that Windows Recall collects to operate.
