Even if only to a limited extent, we can already say that the version of the Microsoft operating system Windows 11 24H2 has already been released. However, to the disappointment of many users, this It does not currently include the “Memories” tool, which in Windows 11 is called Recall.
From the looks of it, this new feature is going to be Only available for Copilot+ PCs, the latest series of laptops from Microsoft, which already come with advanced artificial intelligence (AI) technology built in by incorporating Neural Processing Units (NPU).
Recall: Windows' new AI tool
Recall is a Microsoft tool based on AI technologies that is still in the development phase to be implemented very soon in Windows 11. Its main function is to Automatically take screenshots of everything the user is doing on their deviceAll this information is then stored in a registry.
In other words, the virtue of Windows Recall is to transform the operating system into a kind of «digital memory» which allows us quick access to any time or task that we have performed in the past with our computer.
The list of and advantages which comes from Windows Recall (which is also called "Recollections") can be summarized in the following points:
- Automatic screenshots of everything that is seen on the device screen. In addition, the user's interactions with different applications, browsers or documents are also recorded.
- Advanced search for those captures through keywords and simple elements. This allows for quick and accurate access to any previous point in time, giving Recall the status of a large archive.
- Artificial intelligence. This is the real key to everything. Both for the smooth operation and for the remarkable advantages that this feature offers to Windows users. What really allows us to organize large amounts of data and access them efficiently.
This allows users to access visual information without having to remember exactly what action they performed or when. This is really useful.
Practical Applications of Windows Recall
It's a shame that Windows 24 version 2H11 has arrived without the addition of Recall. And we are not talking about an aesthetic tool, but rather it is a a very functional resource that can be given numerous practical applications.
At first glance, it seems clear that it is an instrument focused on improve user productivity while using Windows on your computer. Just the fact that it makes it easier to recover forgotten or lost information makes this tool especially useful in those work environments where we are forced to deal with numerous applications and simultaneous tasks.
On the other hand, his ease of access It saves us hours and hours of manually browsing through file history or application logs looking for lost data.
In summary, it can be stated that the intelligent information management AI is a key factor of this tool. Perhaps it is what the Microsoft development team has invested the most effort in. AI analyzes all the content to identify keywords, context, relevance and other aspects. The stored screenshots are conveniently indexed in order to achieve an efficient organization that allows the user to find what they are looking for quickly.
Considering all the above, it can be deduced that Windows Recall is a very valuable instrument which can help us improve productivity by facilitating the task of retrieving information that users often forget or overlook.
How can I test Windows Recall?
According to Microsoft sources, for now Windows Recall will be available (although only as a preview) through the Windows Insider programThis possibility will become a reality in a few weeks, if nothing unexpected happens at the last minute. However, it will initially only be possible on Copilot+ devices.
For users who do not have a PC Copilot+, which is the majority, the only way to discover and test the new features of version 24H2 is Join the Windows Insider ProgramThere we can access a preliminary version in which the Recall tool is included.
Hopefully, when the long-awaited finally arrives Windows 12 (or whatever they're going to call it, since the name issue is still unclear), the new version of Microsoft's operating system already includes Windows Recall as standard. And it will probably do so in a much more evolved form than we can see today. In any case, That will be just one of the many AI-based features and functions we will be able to see. We must be prepared for all the new wonders that are already looming on the horizon.
