Windows new Recall feature is a privacy issue

So, recently about a month ago, windows announced their new update - windows recall.

It basically takes screenshot every 5 seconds and saves it in pc locally. Later on, if you can't remember something, you can ask recall to search it in the entire history. Like which site was it, or where did I read this etc etc.

It's a privacy nightmare for crypto users, imagine creating a new hot wallet, and windows taking screenshot of your keys without you realising it. What I fear is at first, the update will be optional, then it will update but will be disabled by default, then in next update it will get enabled, but you can always turn it off, eventually disabling it will be completely out of option.

For now, due to large backlash from windows users, Microsoft didn't roll this feature out. And it will be fairly easy to know if it is enabled, as storing screenshot every 5sec will definitely consume storage in GB's. Earlier, if your system got hacked, they only had access to your files, but now a hacker also has a complete history of what you were doing with these files etc.

Edit :

And it will be fairly easy to know if it is enabled, as storing screenshot every 5sec will definitely consume storage in GB's.

It's not literally a screen shot. AI reads the screen and describes what it sees. Aka it basically stores text instead so the files will be tiny.
