Microsoft’s Windows Recall Update: The Buggy Snapshot That Could Crash Your PC Dreams
Microsoft’s Recall preview update hit a snag thanks to the KB5046740 non-security preview. Windows Insiders eager to test Recall were left with nothing but frustration and a potential reinstall. Microsoft’s advice? Avoid installing the preview before joining the Dev Channel. Welcome to the Windows Insider experience, where PCs might need orbit-level fixes!

Hot Take:
Microsoft’s Recall feature is back, but not without a hiccup! It seems like the only thing it can recall right now is how to frustrate eager Windows Insiders. Who knew a non-security preview update could spark such a comedy of errors? Microsoft’s advice to “wait before joining the Dev Channel” is akin to saying, “Don’t poke the bear if you’re not ready to deal with its growls!”
Key Points:
- Windows Insiders faced issues with Recall preview due to a November update.
- KB5046740 is the final non-security preview update for 2024.
- Joining the Dev Channel post-update led to Recall not saving snapshots.
- Microsoft suggests waiting before joining the Dev Channel until a fix is available.
- Recall is aimed at taking desktop snapshots for activity search.
