On Thursday, the company said it was reintroducing Recall. It currently is available only to insiders with access to the Windows 11 Build 26100.3902 preview version.
Some of those insiders with preview will also be active contributors (200+ contributors, 6 million users) to the Chris Titus Winutil project, an open source PowerShell GUI collection of open scripts and registry toggles to streamline common installs, sanity restrict updates, control windows features (such as Recall), access classic control panels, and custom build your own tweaked install ISOs and clean VM images.
Good for gamers, developers, custom minimal window images, etc.
( "The best thing you can do for a gamer is strip everything non-essential from the OS" .. which is exactly what winutil streamlines and simplifies - along with a wealth of other user chooses options. The MicroWin tab allows a user to create their own minimal stripped out install ISO )

- shepherdjerred 2y agoLTSC is also a good alternative https://massgrave.dev/windows_ltsc_links https://massgrave.dev/windows_ltsc_links
- throwaway48476 2y agoLtsc is much better but the rot had spread to the core os, Explorer is laggy and artifacts when you scroll.
- bradac56 2y agoGood for gamers? You must not actually play any games. The best thing you can do for a gamer is strip everything non-essential from the OS and let us enjoy the damn game. Windows used to be a great gaming platform but now I run nearly everything in ZorinOS except for Tarkov which has it's own hardware sandboxed stripped down Win11 drive.
- ash-ali 2y agoI absolutely love winutil. Periods of installing fresh windows made this one of the first things to do on a new system.
