Scott thank you for this important information all should be aware of.

The concern to me is we can do all we can as an individual to try to protect our information however with these spy programs being installed as features in operating systems will make that effort impossible.

The majority of computers are running Windows, both in a single user environment and in a corporate network environment. With the Recall feature all of these computers will become capable of capturing your sensitive data not only your computer but those who work with your data such as Medical, Tax, Finacial institutions and much more.

Your data is under attack, and I am concerned there is not much we can do to prevent it. What goes on behind the operating system curtain is something we really can't control.

We all know this is another feature step in the creation of Beast System. We are not there yet however the convergence is growing at exponential rate. God is in control, and this is all part of his plan, so we have no need for fear or anxiety.

James, you are exactly right. On one level, there is not a lot we can do for the reasons you mentioned. However, being intentional in purchasing newer PCs that have the NPU and Windows 11 is critical. That's why I purchased a 2023 laptop in 2024 for this reason.

I'm considering passing on what my friend is doing. His computer is very elite for working commitments, so he is very focused on not letting it slip in during one of the update cycles (usually at night, automatically). He has the disable PowerShell command in the startup script during booting.

Would you like more information on that? It might take me some time to document this.

Scott yes I would be interested in the Power Shell as possible solution.

The problem I see is these updates are like the Federal Budget it's all or nothing you get the bad along with the good security updates.

I don't know how you can parcel out individual features baked in. Any information in that regard would be very helpful.

Thanks Scott.

Are you saying Microsoft is doing things with the updates that aren't necessary, such as tracking people and monitoring their activity? I've wondered why the updates happen so often. I have a Mac for my personal use but a PC for work. It seems like my work PC Is updating all the time! It's definitely more often than the updates I get for my Mac. I don't understand this as I have MS programs (Word, Excel, etc.) on my Mac too.

Also, I didn't quite understand what you meant about the recall feature. Sorry that some of this stuff is over my head....

Hi Leener, it’s really hard to know exactly. Chris Titus Tech on YouTube is an expert on this and I’m citing him and others. Here is his channel https://youtube.com/@christitustech?si=a1fbi3x7rOYdxGBs

I am concerned about the number of updates and changes in terms of service in the age of AI. Read my posts on Microsoft Recall, it should help you understand. Blessings
