For Windows 11 users getting cranky over the abundance of AI features, it appears Microsoft will pump the brakes on some future rollouts. Remember Recall? It was a feature that continuously took screenshots while users typed away — and perhaps crept over users’ privacy boundaries. The company delayed that drop, resulting in a win for customer feedback.
