    6 settings I turn off on every new Windows pc
   
    1 Recall Microsoft's Recall system isn't a feature on all Windows PCs. 
    You need to have a Copilot+ PC in order to access Recall,  we recommend opting out of the system on setup.
     Recall is a security nightmare.
   
    2 Display timeout Settings > System > Power & battery 30 min's default inactivity window is just 3-5 minutes to shut down the display and put your computer to sleep. 
    Settings > System > Power  > Screen and Sleep 2 hours I tend to go for 15 minutes for display timeout and 20–30 minutes for sleep.
