Removing Windows Recall breaks File Explorer in latest 24H2 update - NotebookCheck.net News
I wish I was a billion dollar company who gets away with stuff like this. Just generally break people's systems, add spyware, lie to users, treat them like shit.
All while making even more money and my stocks keep on going up, because AI, Ai, Ai...

I was under the impression you could still remove the feature without issue.

That's covered in the article you're commenting on.
Another user on GitHub also pointed out that Microsoft's own DISM can be used to disable the Recall service without the File Explorer consequences, although Titus points out that this behaviour seems inconsistent, as in his testing, the File Explorer still changed its appearance after a restart. Inconsistency aside, it's unlikely that any non-technical Windows user will even know what DISM is, never mind how to use it, and this reliance on a command-line utility to remove a controversial feature is indicative of MIcrosoft's goals.
