Can't you just shut it off?

That recall function, whatever it's called, not the computer. Seems like most processes can be killed, not sure.

As with most irritating Windows features, I assume there'll be an option to turn it off hidden in some obscure place, which will either not work, or it'll turn back on after a random amount of time.

Yeah, you can turn the PC off

For now.
