So, where can we turn this feature on? I know, I should read TFM the manual, but don't have time...,

1. Go to Turn Windows Features On or Off
2. Enable Sanbox
3. Reboot
4. Launch Sandbox
5. Copy over some installer to your fishy app
6. Experiment with it
7. Turn off Sandbox
8. Verify your main OS is intact

His tutorial is quite a bit longer than mine so it took a whole lot more effort to complete it. It's a good tutorial.

Always are

Just a few quick pics of my playtime in the Sandbox. It works, needs some work (it's all new). Release notes said it would churn for a while when firing it up..... 5 seconds and it was up. Guess on an HDD lower end machine, that would be true.



Gives itself 4GB of mem, if it can, and 8 threads (virtual, shared).



Has a bit of a problem here.



Could not find a way to activate it, so that could cause a slew of issues.





And my favorite. MS said don't try anything in the Sandbox that would require restarting. They are correct!

Tried a Restart from the Win Logo button, and.....




Clicking OK here makes Sandbox go poof!

But it's all a WIP, not too bad for a first shot. I did install and run a Premium Trial version of MalwareBytes 3.6.1, the latest. No problems , no issues. And Firefox, ok.

Windows 10 will have sandbox?
I think I'll test Windows 10's updates there first!
