Here’s how to download Windows Sandbox

Microsoft has recently introduced what they called as Windows Sandbox – a lightweight desktop environment to safely run any applications in isolation. 

You can run any Windows applications inside the sandbox, including those you think are not safe to run – that’s one of the reason behind the creation of Windows Sandbox by the way – so that in case anything goes wrong, nothing shall impact your host OS.

Here’s how you can download, install and run Windows Sandbox.

Download Windows Sandbox on Windows 10:

a) Scroll down and find Windows Sandbox, tick on the checkbox and click “OK” 

b) Go to Apps, then Apps and Features

c) On the right side of the window, find Program and Features and click on it

d) On the newly opened window, on the left side, find Turn Windows features on or off and click on it

e) Scroll down and find Windows Sandbox, tick on the checkbox and click “OK” 

f) Let the Windows search for necessary files/download and applying the changes. If asked to restart, do give a restart.
