Build 27686 of Windows 11 is out for Canary Channel Windows Insiders including the Sandbox Client preview, a fix for a potentially alarming registry issue, and a warning for owners of Copilot+ PCs.
What is Windows Sandbox? How do I activate and use it?
Windows Sandbox is a lightweight desktop environment where applications can run in isolation. It is not a full Hyper-V virtual machine, although it uses hardware-based virtualization for core isolation.
It was first released as part of Windows 10, and development has continued in subsequent years.
Now updated from the Microsoft Store, the Windows Sandbox Client preview released in this version includes runtime clipboard detection, audio and video input control, and the ability to share folders with hosts at runtime.
