The real question is: can recall be forcibly torn out of your system, not if a specific application tries to "block" it.

Recall is off by default, it's no more enabled on a clean install than Hyper-V. I think the idea is actually very good, but obviously the privacy concerns are not great. Microsoft has made a lot of changes from what I've seen to allow you to block it on x, y, z, etc.

It's off by default but still present on the system. You can remove it entirely via the "Turn Windows features on and off" dialog.
