Yeah, this was the issue for me. Initially recall couldn't be turned off, until people rioted. Then I'm hearing about it turning back on with updates. I saw one guy with a script to automatically double check that it's off on a regular interval. And now there's seemingly just wave after wave of new things to turn off. Microsoft recently described Windows 11 as an "AI OS", so it's not slowing down either.
So what, I need to check all my settings after every update? Read the news before updating? I just switched to Linux, screw this mess, best of luck to anyone who can't do the same.
It was the turning stuff back on in updates that was my final straw
