Windows 10 Application Guard Added to the New Microsoft Edge

[CyberTech]

Microsoft's Windows Defender Application Guard has been added to the upcoming Chromium-based Microsoft Edge. This security feature allows you to securely browse the web without fear of becoming infected by malicious sites.

Windows Defender Application Guard is a Windows 10 feature that enables Microsoft Edge to launch in an environment that is walled off from the rest of the operating system. This sandbox allows users to open web pages and perform other activities online without fear of infecting the operating system.

In order to utilize Application Guard in the new Microsoft Edge, the Windows 10 feature first needs to be installed via the Windows Features control panel.

I ran it on Windows 10 Pro, but somehing is wrong, because Sandboxed Edge can't connect out (no internet connection). Also it is slowwwwww on my i720 with SSD and 6 GB Ram. Maybe the age of the CPU has something to do with it?

This is still experimental and you're under the spec for Application Guard somewhat.
