The full title is:

> Windows 11 is quietly installing OneDrive Photos, and it wants to scan your photos for faces if you allow it

Damn it. I guess I have to contact my friends who use Windows to warn them and to be sure that no photo that includes me is exposed to this system.

I’ve switched over to Windows 2021 Enterprise IoT LTSC before I jump to Linux. Just letting it slow burn now.

It’s the OneDrive installing new OneDrive Photos app. It happens on any Windows version, such as Server 2025 that has OneDrive installed.

It isn’t limited to Windows 11.

Oh yay. Now our terminal server can have OneDrive Photos AND Teams installed for every single user profile.

It's as if Microsoft decided that people who haven't already left Windows either have no choice or just don't care, so they will tolerate everything.

Microsoft is not wrong

My Android used to nag me to install Onedrive and uhh, enter into a contract with them.

Is this part of the new focus on quality and respect they announced a couple of months ago, or is that yet to come?
