Microsoft Recall is now an explorer.exe dependency (www.youtube.com)

TLDR:
Windows 11 v24H2 and beyond will have Recall installed on every system. Attempting to remove Recall will now break some file explorer features such as tabs.

There is a setting somewhere IIRC (or at least there was) where you can separate file browser processes from the "main" explorer.exe process so you can kill individual Explorer windows but not the whole environment.

Yes. It is (or at least it was, don't know about Windows 11) in the Folder Settings.
