Thanks to PR debacle, Recall now encrypts the data in a VM, https://www.windowscentral.com/software-apps/windows-11/windows-recall-security-improvements-2024 ht

  If this is very important, I suppose I will implement encryption for stored data in future versions. However, I still have a question about this: it seems that lots of hard disk is already encrypted. After all, I also store a large amount of personal photos, documents, bills, and other important information on my computer, and I haven’t meticulously encrypted all this data again. Should I be doing that?

    It’s a question of risk. Full disk encryption targets a different threat model - disk encryption protects against someone grabbing your computer. Writing into an encrypted blob on disk adds a layer of protection against bad actors exfiltrating data by running code on the laptop. Overall I really am amazed that this sort of thing is now possible and appreciate a privacy-aware / local compute and storage version of it!
