====== Windows Recall: Check and Uninstall ======

This page helps you check if **Windows Recall** is present on your system and, if you want, **disable and uninstall it** (remove the payload).

===== Requirements =====
  * Run commands in an **elevated** terminal (CMD or PowerShell as Administrator).
  * **Recall** exists only on certain Windows 11 builds (24H2+) and officially on some Copilot+ PCs.

===== Check if Recall is installed =====
In CMD or PowerShell:
<code>
Dism /Online /Get-FeatureInfo /FeatureName:Recall
</code>

Quick interpretation:
  * ''State : Enabled'' → Recall is **enabled**
  * ''State : Disabled'' → Recall is **disabled**
  * Error ''Feature name ... is unknown'' → Recall **is not present** on your system

===== Disable + uninstall (Remove) =====
In CMD:
<code>
Dism /Online /Disable-Feature /FeatureName:Recall /Remove
</code>

Notes:
  * ''/Remove'' uninstalls the payload, reducing the chance it reappears without being explicitly reinstalled.
  * A **restart** may be required afterward.

===== Alternative (PowerShell) =====
Same operation in PowerShell:
<code>
Disable-WindowsOptionalFeature -Online -FeatureName "Recall" -Remove
</code>

===== Reinstall (optional) =====
If you used ''/Remove'' and want Recall back:
<code>
Dism /Online /Enable-Feature /FeatureName:Recall
</code>
If you get a source error, connect to Windows Update or specify a valid ''/Source''.

===== Quick troubleshooting =====
  * ''Feature name Recall is unknown'' → The feature isn't available on this build/edition.
  * Network/source error on ''Enable-Feature'' → try without WSUS policies or provide a valid source; also check Windows Update connectivity.
  * After major updates, re-check the feature status (it may change).
