TLDR:
Windows 11 v24H2 and beyond will have Recall installed on every system. Attempting to remove Recall will now break some file explorer features such as tabs.

    how the fuck do you even begin making recall a dependency for explorer?

      I can’t say how. But I can guess why.

      “Sorry, can’t remove it. It’s a system dependency”

      Easy. For example: You could take something stupid like the controller for the background colour, move it into the recall.exe and have the file explorer reference the function inside the recall.exe. So whenever someone deletes the recall.exe the file explorer will crash because it can’t find how to set it’s background.

      It’s complete bullshit, but it would work. ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯
