TLDR:
Windows 11 v24H2 and beyond will have Recall installed on every system. Attempting to remove Recall will now break some file explorer features such as tabs.

All of Windows is malware. By default you have adverts in your start menu, you have pop ups (which is not the same thing as Windows Update, pop ups are a service provided by Explorer) which maliciously install unwanted web browsers.

You can't support Trump and then claim that only a small part of his following is due to racist bigots.

You can't support AI and claim that only a small part of it damages the atmosphere.

You can't support Windows and claim that only part of it is malware.

Windows 100% enables and supports this nefarious behaviour. It's the abusive spouse trapping you before beating the shit out of you for your own good.
