Disabling Windows 11 “Recall” spyware feature

Windows 11 24H2 contains a new feature called “Recall.” This takes and stores continuous screenshots of all of your computer activity purportedly to “help you,” but it is a horrible security risk and should be disabled. Perform these procedures in an elevated command prompt window:

To check the feature’s current status:
Dism /Online /Get-Featureinfo /Featurename:Recall

To disable the feature:
Dism /Online /Disable-Feature /Featurename:Recall

If you want to enable it for some reason:
Dism /Online /Enable-Feature /Featurename:Recall
