If one chats/mails with a person using Windows, despite using secure private protocols, every message will be stored by Microsoft's Windoze Recall. Either I'm missing something but this feature seems like the most grotesque breach in online privacy/security.

What are ways to avoid this except for using obfuscated text?

That's just the off button. But you can't remove it because they tied it to explorer as a depenacy. Off or not, explorer doesn't work with out recall.

Turning it off is a good step 1, but what's stopping some malicious software, such as every windows update, from turning it back on and selling our data for profit.
