![]() The Windows Sandbox environment is included in Windows 10/11 Pro, but it’s not active by default. It all sounds a bit complicated, I know, but the TLDR is that Windows Sandbox is a lightweight, fast and secure type of isolated virtual machine for testing programs you don’t trust or apps you don’t want to have access to your local machine hardware and its stored data. That’s because Windows Sandbox uses the virtualization options available in the Pro and Enterprise Editions to create a completely isolated sandbox from the kernel and the physical machine hardware. ![]() ![]() Windows Sandbox is not available in the Home Edition of Windows, but it looks like there are ways to install it there if really needed. If you need them you have to install them again in the sandboxed environment. So, if you’re wondering “Is Windows Sandbox safe?” the answer is yes, due to its simplicity and, of course, isolation from your main Windows install.Īpps installed on your Windows machine are not available in Windows Sandbox. ![]()
