Microsoft is pushing its controversial Recall feature to Windows Insiders

Following a series of delays and pauses, Microsoft is giving its problematic Recall feature another shot. It was tested last fall in the Dev Channel as an early, experimental feature, but it is now gradually rolling out in the Release Preview Channel.

Now available in preview

In a blog post published Thursday, the company announced that Recall is now available in preview mode for Windows Insiders running Windows 11 24H2 build 26100.3902. Available only on Copilot+ PCs, this is the first preview of the May 2025 update. Assuming Recall doesn't trigger any further issues or concerns, you can expect the feature to go live next month.
