[QUOTE="HarborFront, post: 981095, member: 55987"] The difference is in the usage of Windows Defender's Application Guard or Windows Sandbox, although both are backed by the same technology, which would be Hyper-V. From what I gather from the net Windows Sandbox allows users to launch a VM (virtual machine) with a basic version of Windows 10/11 and run suspicious applications without the danger of affecting the main operating system. This enables the user to run potentially threatening executable files in a container. For WDAG if one goes to an untrusted site through Microsoft Edge, Microsoft Edge opens the site in an isolated Hyper-V-enabled container, which is separate from the host operating system. This container isolation means that if the untrusted site turns out to be malicious, the host PC is protected. [/QUOTE]
