We invite you to try out Recall and share feedback, issues, or suggestions for improvement through in-experience links or the Feedback Hub.

As is typical when first previewing new features with Windows Insiders, you may encounter some known issues listed at the bottom of this blog post. We highly recommend you read.

Setup: After installing this build, the models for Recall and Click to Do will start to download in the background. You can check the download status via Settings > Windows Update. To open Recall, you can find it in the Start menu under the All apps list.

How Recall works:

• Use your PC as you normally would. When you need to find something you’ve done previously, open Recall and authenticate with Windows Hello. As you work on documents or presentations, take video calls, and context switch across activities, Recall helps you find things faster and easier, reducing the strain when you can’t remember something. Search using the clues you remember. You can search for the text you need to get back to, and now simply describe what you’re looking for ("pie chart"). You can also browse the timeline to see snapshots from a specific time you remember and get back to that document or website quickly. Recall’s search results leverage AI to provide both text and visual matches for your query. If the results aren’t accurate or don’t look right, please provide feedback using the feedback link.

Control:

• With Recall, you’re in control of what snapshots are saved and when Recalls saves them. A new icon in the system tray displays status and provides quick access to Recall actions. When Recall is enabled, you’ll see the Recall icon visible, which provides visual cues to remind you when snapshots are being analyzed and saved. Click the icon to pause saving snapshots or view more status information. When paused, you’ll see a slash through the icon.
• You can delete a snapshot in Recall from the bottom actions when you no longer want it saved. You can delete any snapshot in Recall that you don’t want and tell Recall to ignore that app or website in that snapshot going forward, either when viewing an individual snapshot or by searching for what you want deleted and removing those results.
• Windows Hello authentication is required to unlock the Recall experience.
• Your data: Insiders and Recall users, we want you to know that your snapshots are truly yours. We do not send your snapshots off your PC to Microsoft or third parties, and don’t use them for training purposes. Microsoft can’t access the keys to view your encrypted data, so we can’t restore your snapshots if you remove Windows Hello or restore your snapshots if you need to reset your PC or move to a new PC. We will in future updates provide ways for you to store a backup of your keys for these cases. For now, your Copilot+ PC only releases the keys to use Recall if you show your face, fingerprint, or PIN.

Other changes included in this Dev Channel update:

• New features, improvements, and fixes being gradually rolled out to Windows Insiders across every Windows 11 PCs, including a revamped and modernized Windows Hello user experience, improvements to Narrator scan mode, and more.
• Known issues with Recall with Click to Do will be fixed in future updates.
