    The rewind feature is only available officially on specialized hardware that has not hit the market yet. “Copilot ready” is the term.

    The PoCs are using multiple workarounds to get it running. It is also entirely disable-able using standard Windows adminstration tools.

      There’s also a simple toggle to turn Rewind off in the settings menu.

      People are really going bonkers over Rewind, it’s almost a sort of mass hysteria at this point. Yes, it appears to be a very insecure and risky feature at this point. So just turn it off. There’s lots of features in any OS that you can set up in ways that will make your system insecure, this is just a particular one of those. Microsoft isn’t going to force it to be enabled, the ensuing legal shitstorm would be epic. I doubt they’ll roll it out to a large audience in its current state.

        At the time I posted, Microsoft had officially planned on having it enabled by default on supported hardware, which was dumb as hell. They’ve since flipped on that, thank goodness.
