About this tag
Safe testing on Windows involves using built-in tools like Windows Sandbox to run untrusted applications in an isolated, disposable virtual environment. This feature is available on Windows 10 Pro, Enterprise, or Education (version 1903 or later) and Windows 11 Pro, Enterprise, or Education. It allows you to test installers, suspicious executables, or settings changes without risking your main system. The sandbox is lightweight and automatically discards all changes when closed, making it ideal for quick and secure app testing. This tag covers guides and discussions on enabling and using Windows Sandbox for safe testing scenarios.
