Microsoft ends Cortana’s location tracking, adjusts Windows 11 for EU privacy compliance

Microsoft’s latest Windows 11 24H2 preview build eliminates Cortana’s Location History API, preventing local storage of location data. The update also stops File Explorer from displaying account-based content for Entra ID users in the EU, ensuring GDPR compliance. Additionally, users can now transfer OneDrive files from phone to PC with one click, while a Recall update will erase all existing snapshots for a refreshed experience.
