Every update I feel like I need to check for recall, I haven't seen it appear in settings yet despite hearing about it years ago - the worry and constant checking is getting on my nerves.

From my understanding it starts to appear is 24H2 so if your still on 23H2 your ok.

You can "disable" it but cannot remove it

I've been on 24H2 for a while on multiple machines, it hasn't appeared on any, hence the frustration of not knowing what's going on with it.

Strange, this is my main reason why I have stayed on 23H2 as I didnt want recall added.

Have you ran the commands to see if its there in the background but just not visible in Windows?

To check the Status of Recall type in the following command and hit enter:

DISM /online /Get-FeatureInfo /FeatureName:Recall

To Disable the Recall feature run the following command in CMD:

DISM /online /Disable-Feature /FeatureName:Recall

Recall would be the least of my worries with Windows these days, not saying i wouldn't remove it, it's just MS seem intent on going down the path of everything in the cloud, telemetry coming out their eyeballs, and AI for everything including writing 30% of Microsoft's code.

I can't help feeling that Windows is heading for a death of a thousand cuts, or maybe that should be slowly breaking from thousands of straws.
 
I thought recall was being changed to off by default, and you could go into settings and enable it if required. I’ll check tomorrow, but I usually disable it via CLI.

The problem is that you may disable it but with Windows update this could be re enabled without you being aware.

Just like if you uninstall it, it can also just be re installed without you knowing and active.

I just do not want Recall or Co-pilot on my system at all or any other AI crap

Windows does seem to be getting worse.

I am currently using Bazzite and doing everything through this now.

Still have my Windows install on another drive so can change if needed
 
I use my machine mainly for surfing, youtube and 3d printing at the mo, and get very little gaming in..
I'm on Windows 10 LTSC at the mo on my main machine, reinstall will be 11 LTSC I think as stuff like Bazzite I don't think will do for me, although I did grab the Live stick version last week and will maybe give it a go over the weekend..

No harm in giving Bazzite a try.

This is what I am currently doing
 
I reinstalled Windows 11 from scratch yesterday as part of a reconfiguration to accommodate Linux. This is the first time I've done it from new, having previously done an in-place upgrade from Windows 10.

I was pleasantly surprised how good the OOBE (Out Of Box Experience) is for it. Lovely, clear text and graphics throughout (well, after the disk setup phase) and it looks really polished. Even Outlook first-start is a bit snazzy. The default desktop is good enough to rival macOS before I start messing it up. :D

Report: Microsoft's latest Windows 11 24H2 update breaks SSDs/HDDs, may corrupt your data

The latest Windows 11 24H2 Patch Tuesday update is causing SSDs and HDDs to reportedly break with chances of data corruption as well.
www.neowin.net www.neowin.net

Further analysis has suggested that SSDs built on Phison NAND controllers especially DRAM-less models exhibit failures at lower write volumes. Reports suggest that select enterprise-grade HDDs also display comparable symptoms under intensive writes.

Quality. :(

I have a feeling that Windows 12 will be free, buggy as hell (because they fired so many devs), and loaded with spyware that they can sell on/train their models (mostly confirmed already). Hope they lose a ton of users if that happens.
 
No issues here, my Sabrent Rocket 4 Plus 8TB uses a Phison controller, Samsung 990 Pro 2TB being the other internal drive.

Performance remains on-spec as well:
