Windows Recall, on or off?

Recall takes periodic screenshots of what you do on your PC and AI-searches them. For business laptops, off is the sensible default.

Try this first

1. 1Business default: off. Recall locally stores passwords, customer data, and anything that was on screen, even when you did not mean it to.
2. 2M365 tenants: disable Recall via Intune policy on Copilot+ PCs. End users can re-enable it otherwise.
3. 3Recall stores locally with encryption tied to sign-in. Losing the laptop with a weak PIN means the data is a target for whoever finds it.
4. 4If someone really wants it on: inform them what lands in Recall, and exclude apps/sites that should not be captured (sensitive browser tabs).
5. 5Document the choice in your AI policy and mention it at onboarding. Otherwise an ex-employee will object to their 'personal data' a year later.

None of the above fits?
