How to work and play in Win10’s new Sandbox

Posted on June 10th, 2019 at 02:05 Tracey Capen Comment on the AskWoody Lounge

First offered with the Windows 10 May 2019 Update (aka Version 1903), the new Sandbox feature provides users a safe, protected area to install and run untested programs.

Trying out new software is great, but installing and running unknown, untested, or possibly unsafe applications could present a significant risk to your Windows environment.

One of the better safeguards is sandboxing, which isolates apps from the rest of your system.
