Title: Removing Windows Recall breaks File Explorer in latest 24H2 update
Post by: Redaktion on October 11, 2024, 18:43:15
It looks like Microsoft's Recall push is back in full swing with Windows 22H4. A recent technical analysis revealed that disabling Recall also disables the modern File Explorer interface. Currently, it is unclear whether this is a bug or intended behaviour, but it's indicative of Microsoft's AI-encrusted future.

There's a typo in the subtitle: 22H4 -> 24H2

Thanks for pointing that out. I've corrected it. Strange world we live in, that a year can have four halves...
Title: Are alternatives like Q-Dir or 7zTm also affected?

How about alternatives to the ยต$-explorer, e.g. Q-Dir or 7zTm, are they also affected or do they rely on their own modules?

I have a NUC with an i7 CPU and updated to 24H2.  After the update I disabled recall and it had no effect on File Explorer.
I used the DISM command:  Open Terminal (Admin) - dism /online /disable-feature /featurename:recall

It stayed disable even after updates and restarts.
To check status:  dism /online /get-featureinfo /featurename:recall
