How to configure Windows Sandbox on Windows 10 - radixtenshi - 01-11-2021
On Windows 10, starting with the May 2019 Update, you can use Windows Sandbox, a feature that offers a lightweight environment isolated from your main installation, to run untrusted applications.
It works similarly to a traditional virtual machine, but this is a virtual environment optimized for security, efficiency, and speed, and you don't need to perform any extra steps. Also, once you're done using a Windows Sandbox session, everything gets deleted from your machine. Every time you start the feature, an entirely new desktop will be created on demand.
Although it's a great feature for system administrators and developers, Windows Sandbox doesn't include an interface to customize the experience. However, you can create a simple configuration file to control various aspects of the feature. For instance, using a configuration file, you can map folders from the host machine to Windows Sandbox, run commands and scripts at startup, and you can even disable the vGPU or the network adapter to increase the security of the environment.
I let you a couple of links about it. Im using that feature and works very well. It would be useful if several of you try it and leave your comments.

This Is an excellent Implementation by Microsoft.
For added protection, you can run It Inside a VM.

As you're aware, It restores everything on reboot so prior to applying Deep Freeze, be sure to configure the OS according to your usability.
