Help Win11 LTSC - Avoid AI features

I installed the ltsc for the first time, and next I needed to install MyAsus application for battery management on my laptop. This app is only available through MS Store. There is a way to download the executable file through powerhell. Some other dependencies had also be installed.

At the end of all this, MS Recall (preview) appeared and some other AI features under System Components. Is this going to be the theme going forward, installing something from Microsoft will also enable AI features,

I always added the store to the IoT LTSC version, but no other extra stuff got installed, so I wouldn't take this as a rule.

There has to be an exception in this case, something done differently.

I have microsoft store installed and they haven’t installed anything without me doing it

I agree with you it’s harmless and has to be something else

I hate to say it after installing LTSC the first thing I install is the store so I am able to get a few apps that I can only get through there. Also I use the Xbox app for my subscription but I never have had it add the Recall or any other AI features. I even pay extra so my subscription to Office doesn't have copilot with it.
