[QUOTE="ForgottenSeer 72227, post: 778238"] Thanks for the clarification, this was my understanding as well! I agree(y) I gave it a try just to see what it was all about, it didn't slow down my system anymore than what WD does which is great. I think it is a good feature to have in order to help keep the OS more secure from malicious code trying to take advantage of an exploit via WD. However, like you said it's still very experimental at this point and I think Microsoft still has some things to iron out before its ready for prime time. I have since disabled it as I found out (while doing very basic tests via ATMSO and the WD Testing grounds) that some of WD detection capabilities stopped working (on some tests) when the sandbox was enabled. Even though the sandbox should not have any impact whats so ever on WD detection capabilities, currently it seems to be conflicting with some of them (at least for me on 1809). Since disabling the sandbox, WD was able to pass those tests without issue, compared to when it was enabled.
