If you plug a flash drive into the computer with sandbox running, does the drive appear in the sandbox and can you use files and installers from the flash drive?
Following minimum requirements in order to run Windows Sandbox: Windows 10 Pro or Enterprise build 18305 or later AMD64 architecture Virtualization capabilities enabled in BIOS At least 4GB of RAM (8GB recommended) At least 1 GB of free disk space (SSD recommended) At least 2 CPU cores (4 cores with hyperthreading recommended)
Installing a program in the Sandbox without problems surely doesn't tell anything about if it's dangerous or not. You'll need to install an antivirus program first too. And then do a lot of tests. Programs with malware or viruses don't tell you that they contain dangerous code until it's too late. It would be dangerous to trust a program just because it installs ok in the Sandbox.
thats a nice windows update brian,what about checking installed programs in the sandbox with the systems anti-virus,is your system anti-virus scanner also available in the sandbox?
If you update to 1903 with a machine running Realtek stereo mix you'll need to uninstall your soundcard driver and install the latest driver from the Realtek website
one of my credit cards was stolen on the same day i made a payment, company took care of it but it got me thinking off additional security while banking. i was told the best way to bank is to use a separate machine for banking that you don't use for everything else ... i don't have a good laptop so i was thinking of Mint or TOR onion browser on a VM ... question is would simply banking in sandbox mode achieve the same result or is there a better more practical way of doing what I'm trying to do? ... any thoughts on this?

is there another way to download windows sandbox instead of/without enabling it on windows features? because I'm using a laptop with windows 10 home edition? I'm looking for someone who has the windows sandbox .zip file so I can use and run it on my windows 10 home edition pc.
How to enable virtualization ? I know it is in the BIOS, because you said it, but where is it ? And sicne I don't really know where is the version, I opened my CMD and at the top, my version is : "Version 10.0.17763.557". Is it right ?
Thanks Brian thanks for the info I didn't know about Sandbox wonder if might be handy for me. Sorry you probably have missed me six videos ago because 4 hours has passed probably, just wondering this software for Android that software you provided for smartphones can it delete the logo of, for instance British Telecom (BT) of the phone when you turn it on and even so when you turn it off,the logo shows up it's annoying ,the only thing I want is showing up is Samsung logo first only, like you are buying it new from the factory,no provider logo BT on smartphone Samsung. Thanks Brian as always keeping up your information👍👍👍👍👌
After closing the sandbox... Upon its next use, will it continue from your previous session? Or will it start as a clean install? If it continues from your last session, but you would rather have a new, clean session, can that be done? Can you save each sandbox session, so that if you are testing multiple items, you can keep them in their own separate environments? If yes, how do you choose which sandbox session will be active, upon starting up the sandbox feature? Can you run multiple instances of sandbox?
@@MrMinty1966 So whatever you were working on gets discarded, with no option to save your session? Can you have more than one instance of sandbox running?
@@MrMinty1966 Perhaps Microsoft will improve this early version of the application, because it is very limiting. For testing questionable software, it is better than taking chances with your main workstation. It is better than nothing (when your app is better than nothing, that it not saying much about its usefulness). So I can see some folks using it. But only for those that are concerned about security, while not being too computer savvy. And you have to have the Pro OS, which, as a percentage, few folks have. So I wonder who would have the Pro version, not be too computer savvy, and yet would want to test software in a safe environment? With a little more initial work to install and get running, Oracle's VirtualBox would seem to be the equivalent of "Word", whereas Sandbox is the equivalent of "Notepad". VirtualBox lets you save sessions (even the state, that includes RAM from a running environment), allows multiple instances, is not limited to creating only virtual Win10 environments, has a myriad of networking options, etc, and is free.
Hi Brian, today I have turned on the Windows Sandbox for the first time, but I can not connect to internet with this. Why ? Does Sandbox work not with internet or ?
i have windows 10 pro and enabled virtualization but the windows virtualization folder not appearing? by the way i disabled windows defender if causing the problem.
Britec09 excuse me when I want to turn on windows sandox where is features there is written that windows sandbox cannot be installed.The processor does not have required virtualization capabilities.Give me an advice how to do that,please.
What does this mean?: Virtualization cannot be installed, virtualization system is disabled in the firmware. (Virtualization is grayd out in the Turn on off window)
I have a Windows Insider box here that is using the Release Preview version of Windows and when I run Windows Sandbox the antivirus aka Windows Defender is not enabled in Sandbox even though its running in the Release Preview host system.
You know you can just press windows key + type instead of moving your mouse over to the cortana search bar? you can also make it much smaller if you like more space in your task bar. I hate the thing!
That's kind of good I guess, but I rather enjoy keeping full permanent OS's with all my retro/new programs in VirtualBox!! Also for you nerds that can't get this feature for whatever reason..... just check out Comodo Containment ;)
Nice video but it doesnt work for some folks. I'm on Win 10 Pro 1903. When I do systeminfo I get something different on the last line "Hyper-V Requirements: A hypervisor has been detected. Features required for Hyper-V will not be displayed.", and no I am not running any other hypervisor that I know of. And when I run windows sandbox I get the error 0x80072746. An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host. From what I can tell from searching so far the consensus is I have to wait for Microsoft to fix whatever this is. So apparently Win 10 1903 is not so bugless after all. If you know what I did wrong I am all ears. :)
I upgraded my Win 10 Pro to version 1903. Sandbox added with Hyper-V. Virtualization is enabled. Sandbox did not recognize a wireless adapter and only allowed Ethernet connection. I’m on wireless only. Is my only option to run Sandbox via Ethernet?
This becoming a standard feature may bring unwanted attention to the power of sandbox software. More people using this feature means more of a reason to bust your ass trying to find a crack in the defenses.
All went well until it came to ticking Sandbox and then i got .... Windows Sandbox can not be installed. The processor does not have second level address translation (SLAT) capabilities. :(
This can't be done on Windows home im so frustrated i need to test some files that i don't know if are virus or not but since this is only available to Pro and other versions i have to download virtual machine that is a pain Thank you Microsoft for not thinking about general users.
its like a machine in a machine. imagine you have 2 pc's combined in 1. its not a virus because its coming from windows experts need to use this everyday in order to get work done.
@@greglopezjr.4625 That's fine, I understand the concept "I think" But if the software has a virus, how do you become alerted to the problem?What good is the sandbox if it doesn't do anything other than run the software.That's what I don't understand.
I had a similar problem with a HP ,but only when running on Battery not when it was on charge, when the unit was running on battery only the battery was showing charged but it would shutdown, but not when it was on charge, I replaced the battery and all is working well,,, not shore of you circumstances and if this is helpful , Regards Melissa

Please tell me how as I would very much to try it, thanks in Advance.
It's only $1 on eBay
Thanks, Brian this is the best how-to video for sandbox I have seen.
very helpful., Brian. was having trouble turning on virtualization in bios. Found that is in the cpu section of the bios. now up and running.

u can upgrade it to the pro version for free if u dont mind using an activator to activate windows
Does this take up disk space?
