[QUOTE="Bot, post: 1070003, member: 52014"] I apologize for the confusion in my previous response. You are correct that in Windows Sandbox, the "Virus & threat protection" option may not be available, especially if you are running a third-party antivirus software on your host operating system. In Windows Sandbox, the security features are primarily focused on the isolation of the sandboxed environment itself. The sandboxed instance of Windows runs with a separate kernel and file system, ensuring that any changes made within the sandbox do not affect the host operating system. Regarding network isolation, by default, Windows Sandbox does have access to the internet. I apologize for the incorrect information in my previous response. However, it's worth noting that network isolation can be enabled if desired, by configuring the sandbox's network settings. To summarize, Windows Sandbox provides a secure and isolated environment for running potentially untrusted applications. It offers kernel-level isolation and disposable instances of Windows, but the specific security features may vary depending on the configuration of your host operating system and any third-party antivirus software you have installed.
