It allows users to run an isolated (or "sandboxed") instance of Windows within their current Windows instance. This allows the user to, for example, install and run a program in Windows Sandbox without affecting their host machine. Optionally, users can create and use WSB files to control certain aspects of how their Windows Sandbox instances function.

Between those tags, users can specify settings that control whether: A sandbox instance uses virtualized GPU (vGPU) or Windows Advanced Rasterization Platform (WARP) The sandbox instance has network access Any folders should be shared with the host instance (in a read or write capacity) Any commands are issued at sandbox startup The host machine's microphone and webcam input is shared with the sandbox Increased security settings are placed on the RDP session The host machine's printers and clipboard are shared with the sandbox Additionally, users can specify the sandbox's memory capacity (in MB).
