微软原计划六月在Copilot Plus PCs上推出Recall AI，因安全问题推迟，现计划十月让Windows测试者试用。该功能可截图电脑上的操作并提供搜索和检索，虽强调安全但曾被发现数据库未加密，现微软正进行改进。

🎯Recall AI原计划六月随Copilot Plus PCs推出，后因安全担忧推迟，现定于十月让Windows测试者试用。它利用Windows 11内置的本地AI模型，对用户在电脑上的所见所做进行截图，并提供搜索和检索功能，还有可探索的时间线用于回顾工作。

🔒此前安全研究人员发现Recall的数据库未加密，恶意软件可能访问该功能。现在微软对其进行重大改动，包括将该功能设为可选择加入而非默认开启，对数据库进行加密，并通过Windows Hello进行认证。

📅微软的Windows和Surface首席Pavan Davuluri表示，安全是首要任务，十月Recall面向Windows测试者时会发布更多细节的博客。微软可能需要更多时间充分测试其对Recall的安全改动。

Microsoft says it’s planning to allow Windows testers to try out its controversial Recall AI feature in October. The software giant was originally planning to launch Recall with its Copilot Plus PCs in June but was forced to hold back the feature after security concerns were raised.

At the time of the delay on June 13th, Microsoft promised the feature — that screenshots nearly everything on your PC — would be available for Windows Insiders “in the coming weeks,” but that’s now more like the coming months. “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,” says Windows and Surface chief Pavan Davuluri in an updated blog post.

The feature uses local AI models built into Windows 11 to screenshot mostly everything you see or do on your computer and then give you the ability to search and retrieve items you’ve seen. An explorable timeline also lets you scroll through all these snapshots to look back at your work on a particular day.

While Microsoft has always maintained that Recall is secure, local, and private on-device, security researchers found that the database wasn’t encrypted, and malware could have potentially accessed the Recall feature. Microsoft is now working on major changes to Recall, including making the AI-powered feature an opt-in experience instead of on by default, encrypting the database, and authenticating through Windows Hello.

Davuluri doesn’t explain why Recall has been pushed back further, but he does say, “security continues to be our top priority and when Recall is available for Windows Insiders in October we will publish a blog with more details.” It’s likely that Microsoft simply needs more time to fully test its security changes to Recall.

This could mean we won’t see a full launch of Recall this year, though. Microsoft typically tests Windows features with its Insider program for weeks or months at a time before shipping them out more broadly. That timing may well depend on exactly when Microsoft manages to ship the test version of Recall in October.
