The negative feedback that came crashing down on Windows Recall apparently hasn’t gotten through to Microsoft because another AI feature has appeared in Windows 11 that does a lot of the same stuff.
A user on X/Twitter discovered evidence of a feature called “Intelligent Media Search” in Windows 11 Canary Build 27695 that scans all media files on the system (including text, image, audio, and video) and retrieves them on request.
It isn’t yet clear whether this is an independent feature or an extension of Recall itself, but the Windows community is unlikely to approve either way. Even if the feature is supposed to make everyday life and work easier, there are valid concerns about security, privacy, and performance.
