Fenêtres Sandbox released by Microsoft.
Fenêtres Sandbox is a new lightweight desktop environment tailored for safely running applications in isolation.
How many times have you downloaded an executable file, but were afraid to run it? Have you ever been in a situation which required a clean installation of Fenêtres, but didn’t want to set up a machine virtuelle?
At Microsoft we regularly encounter these situations, so we developedFenêtres Sandbox: an isolated, temporary, desktop environment where you can run untrusted software without the fear of lasting impact to your PC. Any software installed in Fenêtres Sandbox stays only in the sandbox and cannot affect your host. Once Fenêtres Sandbox is closed, all the software with all its files and state are permanently deleted.
Fenêtres Sandbox has the following properties:
- Part of Fenêtres – everything required for this feature ships with Fenêtres 10 Pro and Enterprise. No need to télécharger un VHD!
- Pristine – every time Fenêtres Sandbox runs, it’s as clean as a brand-new installation of Fenêtres
- Disposable – nothing persists on the device; everything is discarded after you close the application
- Secure – uses hardware-based virtualization for kernel isolation, which relies on the Microsoft’s hypervisor to run a separate kernel which isolates Fenêtres Sandbox from the host
- Efficient – uses integrated kernel scheduler, smart memory management, and virtual GPU
Prerequisites for using the feature
- Fenêtres 10 Pro or Enterprise build 18305 ou plus tard
- AMD64 architecture
- Virtualization capabilities enabled in BIOS
- At least 4GB of BÉLIER (8GB recommended)
- At least 1 GB of free disk space (SSD recommended)
- At least 2 CPU cores (4 cores with hyperthreading recommended)
Quick start
- Installer Fenêtres 10 Pro or Enterprise, construire 18305 or newer
- Enable virtualization:
- If you are using a physical machine, ensure virtualization capabilities are enabled in the BIOS.
- If you are using a machine virtuelle, enable nested virtualization with this PowerShell cmdlet:
- Set-VMProcessor -VMName <VMName> -ExposeVirtualizationExtensions $true
- Ouvrir Fenêtres Caractéristiques, puis sélectionnez Fenêtres Sandbox. SélectionnerD'ACCORD to install Fenêtres Sandbox. You might be asked to restart the computer.
5. Using theCommencer menu, find Fenêtres Sandbox, run it and allow the elevation
6. Copy an executable file from the host
7. Paste the executable file in the window of Fenêtres Sandbox (on the Fenêtres desktop)
8. Run the executable in the Fenêtres Sandbox; if it is an installer go ahead and install it
9. Run the application and use it as you normally do
10. When you’re done experimenting, you can simply close the Fenêtres Sandbox application. All sandbox content will be discarded and permanently deleted
11. Confirm that the host does not have any of the modifications that you made in Fenêtres Sandbox.
