Lets say you are looking at some new software you want to try. Every time it boots up, it’s a default install. The Windows 10 Sandbox is like running factory default Windows install inside of Windows. Finally, the Windows Sandbox feature needs to be enabled in Windows Features. Your CPU also needs to support virtualization and be enabled in the BIOS. Unfortunately Home users cannot take advantage of this feature. You need to be running the Windows update or newer and running either Pro or Enterprise to utilize this feature. Windows 10 now has a nifty Sandbox feature built into the operating system. A playground of sorts, hence the term sandbox. The idea is to run untrusted software in this safe area just to make sure it doesn’t do anything damaging to the rest of the system. Computer sandboxes give software running in them a place to reside while being isolated from the rest of the system. Unfortunately, that’s not what we are talking about today but this technology does get its name from them. If you were lucky, when you were a kid, you had a sandbox to play in.
