Windows Sandbox: Your Virtual Playground for Safe Exploration

Ever wanted to test a sketchy app, download a file from an unknown source, or just tinker with settings without risking your main system? Windows Sandbox is your answer! This built-in feature of Windows 10 Pro and Enterprise (and later versions) creates a lightweight, isolated virtual environment where you can do just that.

Think of it as a temporary, disposable virtual machine. When you close the Sandbox, everything inside vanishes, leaving your main system untouched. It's clean, secure, and incredibly easy to use.

To enable it, search for "Turn Windows features on or off," check the box next to "Windows Sandbox," and restart your computer. Once enabled, a quick search for "Windows Sandbox" will launch a fresh instance. Now, go wild! Experiment, test, and learn without fear of messing up your primary Windows installation. Once you close it, all changes are gone. It is the easiest and most secure way to test software.
