Microsoft Recall is now an explorer.exe dependency (www.youtube.com)

TLDR:
Windows 11 v24H2 and beyond will have Recall installed on every system. Attempting to remove Recall will now break some file explorer features such as tabs.

From my understanding, you can prevent Recall from running just fine, you only can't remove it.

OS level malware. I suspect it will be turned on in an update a few years down the road. And then MS will be caught, say "whoops my bad!" And pay a 100 million dollar fine after their new valuation on the stock market of 5 trillion dollars.
