No, but the scanning is happening on Microsoft servers, not locally, I am guessing.
So if you enable the feature, it sends your photos to MS to scan... If you turn it off, they delete that data, meaning if you turn it on again, they have to process the photos again. Every time you enable it, you are using server resources.
However, this should mean that they don't let you re-enable it after you turn it off 3 times, not that you can't turn it off if you have enabled it 3 times.
where does it say turning it off deletes the data? it doesn't even say that turning it off stops them scanning your photos. the option is "do you want to see the AI tags" Google search history is the same. Turning off or deleting history only affects your copy of the data.
then it should say "this setting can only be turned back on three times a year"
Does it take processing power to NOT scan photos?
