Microsoft has announced that its controversial Recall AI feature, designed to screenshot nearly everything you do on your PC, won’t be available to Windows testers until October. The software giant originally planned to launch Recall alongside its Copilot Plus PCs in June but had to delay its release due to security concerns raised by researchers.

The feature, which uses local AI models to create a searchable timeline of your computer activity, was initially promised to Windows Insiders “in the coming weeks” after the delay was announced on June 13th. However, Microsoft has now pushed back the release date to October.

“With a commitment to delivering a trustworthy and secure Recall (preview) experience on Copilot Plus PCs for customers, we’re sharing an update that Recall will be available to Windows Insiders starting in October,” said Windows and Surface chief Pavan Davuluri in a blog post.

While Microsoft has always insisted that Recall is secure, local, and private, security researchers discovered that the database wasn’t encrypted, potentially allowing malware to access the feature. To address these concerns, Microsoft is implementing several changes, including making Recall an opt-in feature, encrypting the database, and requiring Windows Hello authentication.

Davuluri didn’t provide a specific reason for the further delay, but he did emphasize that security remains Microsoft’s top priority. “When Recall is available for Windows Insiders in October, we will publish a blog with more details,” he said.

The delay in the release of Recall means that it’s unlikely to be fully launched to the public this year. Microsoft typically tests new features with its Insider program for several weeks or months before making them widely available. The exact timing of the full release will depend on when the test version becomes available in October.
