Comment on AdGuard is yet another app to block Windows Recall

No I don’t want Linux or any other OS. I perfectly know my way around with Windows and so many of my regular tasks depend on tools made for Windows. I have used Linux desktop in the past and have many friends and co-workers who use it as their main OS, but it’s just not for me.

Besides of course this recall stuff gets blown way out of proportion like every time Microsoft makes a bad move. All of my computers don’t even support recall and when they eventually do, I’ll just disable it in one of like four possible different ways.

so many of my regular tasks depend on tools made for Windows. Ok but the OP is taking about people who just use their computer for browsing the internet, so how is this relevant?

  Second paragraph isn’t wrong though.

    I don’t think so. I don’t think it is blown out of proportion, I actually think it is that bad, and I also think that if you think you can just disable it and be done with it, you don’t have any experience with microsoft products and services. they regularly reset privacy settings, both on windows, and yesterday I found that even in their android apps like the swiftkey keyboard.
    
    another example of this tendency, is that a few days ago I was helping a friend with computer problems who stuck on windows 7, and I have seen that microsoft yas gone out of its way to push an update or something that installed their edge browser, pinned it to the taskbar and automatically opened it on boot.

    I’ve never had that issue on Professional editions of Windows 10 or 11. Home edition? Maybe. But Pro lets you override almost anything you want with group security policies.

What’s been your favourite version of Windows?

  I’m currently sticking to Windows 10 on my private machines but already on 11 on my work computer and it’s fine with an alternative start menu. I’m also looking forward to the better HDR features on 11.

    Fair enough, I use 10 and 11 at work and hate it … I used to like 7, using the control panel, search, default paths and stuff seemed a lot more intuitive.
    
    That’s why I stick with Linux at home, it feels a lot more like Windows used to, lol

    Yeah the control panel revisions took some getting used to, but now I think it’s not so bad. I know where to find everything but I can see how it’s frustrating for others. What’s most important to me is that I have local admin rights on my work PC and can customize it to my liking. Many companies lock their devices down heavily, and I don’t want to deal with that.

It’s not JUST about recall, but whatever.
