Microsoft just began rolling out its controversial Recall feature to Windows Insiders in the Release Preview ring, signaling an imminent wider launch. The tool continuously snapshots user activity on Copilot Plus PCs to make past actions searchable, but now requires explicit opt-in and lets users pause recording at any time. Reaching Release Preview is Microsoft's final milestone before shipping broadly to Windows 11.
Microsoft just rolled out its exclusive Copilot Plus PC features to Intel and AMD devices via the latest Windows 11 update. The update brings real-time Live Captions, Paint Cocreator, and Photos AI editing beyond Qualcomm chips. The widely discussed Recall feature, however, still lacks a general rollout date.
Qualcomm just expanded its Snapdragon X lineup with a cheaper Arm laptop chip, bringing Copilot Plus PCs down to around $600. It features an eight-core Oryon CPU and a 45 TOPS NPU to keep all of Microsoft's on-device AI features intact. Why it matters: Qualcomm is aggressively taking Windows on Arm mainstream to squeeze Intel where it hurts.
Microsoft just pushed back the rollout of its controversial Recall feature for Copilot Plus PCs to December, missing its revised October preview target. The company says it needs extra time to overhaul security, making the local snapshot tool strictly opt-in, fully uninstallable, and protected by Windows Hello authentication.
