[QUOTE="DeepWeb, post: 773045, member: 63811"] Has anyone tried this yet? Apparently you can run Windows Defender Antivirus in a sandbox now:[IMG]https://cloudblogs.microsoft.com/uploads/prod/sites/13/2018/10/windows-defender-av-sandbox.png[/IMG] [URL='https://cloudblogs.microsoft.com/microsoftsecure/2018/10/26/windows-defender-antivirus-can-now-run-in-a-sandbox/']Windows Defender Antivirus can now run in a sandbox - Microsoft Secure[/URL] No real instructions on how to do this so I assume: This PC (right-click) -> Properties -> Advanced System Settings (left panel) -> Environmental Variables -> System variables -> "New..." -> Cut & paste "[I]MP_FORCE_USE_SANDBOX 1"???? [/I]But where? As a variable or as a value (see attachment) and if I choose one, what is the other? No directory to point to? Why can't they give us clear instructions to this? Geez. I don't know if this actually works. I use a 3rd party AV so if anyone more knowledgeable would like to chime in on how to set this environmental variable please feel free to do so. [/QUOTE]
