Summary
This detection rule identifies when the Windows Recall feature is enabled by monitoring registry modifications related to the `DisableAIDataAnalysis` value. When an adversary wants to activate the Windows Recall functionality, they may delete this registry entry, as it is presumed to be disabled initially. The rule focuses on registry delete events specifically targeting the `DisableAIDataAnalysis` registry key within the WindowsAI path. Such actions may indicate malicious intent, as attackers could utilize Recall for further data collection tasks following initial system compromise. False positives may arise from legitimate activations of the Windows Recall feature, hence, further investigation may be warranted in such cases. As this rule is in the experimental status, it is subject to adjustments based on user feedback and efficacy in real-world deployment.
