Pristine: every time you run Windows Sandbox, it is as clean as a brand new Windows installation
Cleaning: Nothing remains on the device. everything is deleted when you close the application

  1. I saw them all until I could add that feature
    Settings… Applications… Related Settings… Programs & Features… Enable Ή DisableWin Features in. to reach the best:
    To install Sandbox you need to Check the Windows Protected Execution Environment (whoever did not understand it at first, let's change Operating System)…
    But finally I did it !!!!
    To see how much protection from programs running inside it (or even viruses) can save us !!!!

    • Run a powershell as a manager and:

      Disable-WindowsOptionalFeature -FeatureName "Containers-DisposableClientVM" -Online

      or cmd (as manager)

      dism / online / Disable-Feature / FeatureName: "Containers-DisposableClientVM"
