What is Windows Sandbox?
Windows Sandbox is a virtualization-based isolation technology that provides a lightweight and secure environment for running applications in a sandboxed environment. It was first introduced in Windows 10, version 1903, as a feature to help users test and run untrusted applications without affecting the host system. Windows Sandbox creates a temporary desktop environment where users can run applications, browse the internet, and test software without worrying about the risks of malware, viruses, or other types of cyber threats.
Main Features of Windows Sandbox
Some of the key features of Windows Sandbox include:
- Isolation**: Windows Sandbox provides a completely isolated environment for running applications, which means that any changes made to the sandboxed environment will not affect the host system.
- Lightweight**: Windows Sandbox is a lightweight technology that requires minimal resources, making it ideal for testing and running applications on lower-end hardware.
- Secure**: Windows Sandbox provides a secure environment for running applications, with built-in protection against malware, viruses, and other types of cyber threats.
