Policy
Allow export of Recall and snapshot information
Windows 11 25H2
Policy overview
Key metadata and intent for this policy.
Supported OS tags: Windows11
This policy allows you to determine whether users can export their own Recall and snapshot information. Exporting allows users to share their Recall and snapshot information with trusted apps or websites. Users can export from Settings > Privacy & security > Recall & snapshots > Advanced settings > Export snapshots > Export past snapshots > Export. Users can also choose to continuously export their snapshots if they turn on the option to Export snapshots from now on from Settings > Privacy & security > Recall & snapshots > Advanced settings > Export snapshots > Export. Before starting an export, the user must authenticate with Windows Hello and they are notified that their exported snapshots are encrypted since they might contain sensitive information. The user is also notified that they'll need to provide their Recall export code if they want to allow trusted apps or websites access to exported snapshots. The Recall export code is displayed to users during Recall setup even if this policy is set to disabled or not configured. For managed devices: When you set this policy to enabled, users will be able to export Recall and snapshot information. If the policy is set to disabled or not configured, users won't be able to export their Recall and snapshot information. Important: This setting applies to devices in the European Economic Area (EEA) only. Export of Recall and snapshot information is a user-initiated process and is per user. IT admins or other users can't initiate an export on behalf of another.
