In case you're unfamiliar, Windows Recall is an AI-powered feature Microsoft rolled out for Copilot+ PCs. Recall essentially takes screenshots of your display throughout the day, building a compendium of your PC activity. As such, you can access your Recall screenshots to search for specific actions, messages, apps, and more from your personal Windows history. It's neat in theory—instead of endlessly scrolling through files or chats, you can search Windows for the specific thing you want. In practice though, the privacy and security implications are difficult to get past.
Microsoft has been busy workshopping the feature ever since, and recently brought the feature back for good. Now, Recall is protected by Windows Hello authentication during setup and whenever accessing the screenshot database; sensitive information is supposed to be censored by default; and the feature now lets you choose apps to omit from screenshots, in case you don't want Windows to take screenshots of private chats or important work, for example. Still, security risks still exist (sensitive info isn't always censored, for one) as they always will when you let a program (the OS, no less) take screenshots of your computing activities all day, every day.
It's clever, but it does have two implications. For starters, it does disable Recall for Signal for any users who actually want the feature to work. I wouldn't personally use Recall, but I can see how someone who does might not love an app going rogue and disabling a feature they want to use—especially considering you have to opt into using Recall in the first place. But even if you don't use Recall, it also interferes with your ability to take screenshots yourself: If you've ever tried to take a screenshot of a DRM window—say, while watching Netflix—you'll know what I mean.
How to stop Signal from blocking screenshots on Windows 11
To disable Signal's DRM window feature, head to Signal Settings > Privacy > Screen security. When you disable "Screen security," you will get a pop-up, warning you that by doing so, Windows might capture screenshots of your Signal window in a way that "may not be private." Click "Disable," and you're good to go.
