The Windows Update 1903 including this feature is now widely available. After it got installed you need to go to “Turn Windows features on or off” and enable it there
Just launch Windows Sandbox. Install and use any software you like to try. Close the sandbox and reopen it => All gone and your are set to try the next one.
- It is not possible to mount an ISO image in the sandbox
- File transfer between sandbox and host is only possible via copy and paste (Host needs to run in Admin user also)
- If installation requires reboot all will be lost
- .NET applications not startable because of current .NET issue
- AAC system decoder available
- Most Windows Apps are unavailable (Store, Windows Media Player, Photos,…)
