The KB5041865 update for the operating system introduced the ability to uninstall the controversial activity snapshotting feature, much to the joy of many users. However, Microsoft has announced that this functionality was a bug, and it will be rectified. As a result, Recall will be installed on all Windows 11 machines and although it can be disabled, it cannot be uninstalled. This decision has caused excitement among a large number of people who view Recall as a significant privacy and security risk.

The erroneous option to uninstall the feature will be addressed in a future update. The reception of the uninstall option indicates a strong desire for such control over Recall. It remains to be seen how this situation will evolve.
