Back at it supporting the one selfless dude here. 💙💙

[@ElectronicsComputers]

Thank you for your support!

[@Conqueror25]

This will be useful for me to isolate some malwares I wanna test in my Cybersecurity degree

[@ElectronicsComputers]

Yep, good idea!

Hi, what are your laptop specifications?

[@ElectronicsComputers]

Welcome!

Thanks

[@ElectronicsComputers]

Always welcome!

[@DuNguyen-sg7rz]

what your laptop brand?

[@ElectronicsComputers]

Dell XPS

Can I transfer file from sandbox to host system in the same way (copy + paste)?

[@ElectronicsComputers]

Sure, it works both ways.

Whenever I activate Sandbox and it asks me to restart pc to install it, the installation reaches 100% and then it says something like "Something went wrong, no need to worry, undoing changes Windows 11" Virtualization is enabled, indeed VirtualBox, Bluestack and Hyper-V virtual machines work fine. I also tried to disable Hyper-V, but nothing... (I made a clean installation of W11 Pro like one week ago, and I didn't install any weird third part software...) (AMD Ryzen 9 5900hx mobile is my cpu)

[@ElectronicsComputers]

That’s quite unusual since it's generally a straightforward process, as shown in my video. If you’ve ensured that virtualization is enabled in your BIOS/UEFI settings and all necessary Windows features, like Hyper-V and Virtual Machine Platform, are turned on, and your system meets the requirements, it’s tricky to pinpoint the issue. Just to confirm, are you using an official version of Windows 11 and have all the latest updates installed? Also, if you’re on a laptop, try setting the power plan to 'High Performance' and double-check that all Intel-related drivers are installed and up to date.

[@Nico0o0o0]

@@ElectronicsComputers I have W11 Pro original bought, with the last updates from Windows Updates (24h2 26100.2033). I have Hyper-V. Hypervisor and Virtual Machine Platform activated. My system surely meets the requirements (AMD Ryzen 9 5900hx 3.3GHZ 8-core - Nvidia 3080 16gb 115+15w - 64gb ram 3200mhz - 2x1TB ssd Samsung 980 Pro) I'm already on high performance and all the drivers are updated. I don't know what to do or think anymore...

[@ElectronicsComputers]

@@Nico0o0o0 Well, last thing that comes into my mind is double check that SVM is activated in the BIOS and also check if you have WindowsSandbox.exe file in your C:\Windows\System32 folder. If it's there try to start. If it works, simply make a shortcut to that file.

[@definentlynotuser184]

it works so now i can test roblox excecurtos cant spell without harming my pc

[@Theultramadman]

whatd u test

[@lmwlmw4468]

Nice video.

[@ElectronicsComputers]

Many many thanks

[@justinekakay]

If i activate the malware file on Windows sandbox, does it gonna infect the host as well?

[@ElectronicsComputers]

It's technically impossible. It's a 100% isolated environment. You can do whatever you want with it. Once you close and open again, it would be a brand new Windows.

[@gameing_kid_vr]

i only see virtual machine platform on the windows fetures

[@ElectronicsComputers]

Maybe your Windows is a Home version?!

[@OggieBoogieYT]

Question how much gigabytes does it take up

[@ElectronicsComputers]

Not sure if I understood your question... gigabytes of what???

[@OggieBoogieYT]

⁠@@ElectronicsComputerslike gigabyte of storage

[@ElectronicsComputers]

@@OggieBoogieYT By default, Windows Sandbox provides 2 GB of RAM and 40 GB of disk space. However, you can adjust these specifications if needed, as long as your PC's hardware has sufficient resources to support the changes.

[@OggieBoogieYT]

K thx

[@fabiangomolka8345]

While i installed the malware or trojan my computer doesn t chacked?

[@ElectronicsComputers]

Viruses or malware cannot transfer from that virtual machine to your host system. It's a completely isolated environment.

[@Ba.ja.n]

ah crap. i cant bc i have home edition :(

[@Vrdp]

I don’t get the option to check sandbox. Do you know why?

[@ElectronicsComputers]

Are you sure that your Windows version is not the Windows Home?

[@beefminecrafter]

How do you know what windows version it is

[@Joe_DJ_DIRTY57]

@@ElectronicsComputersI'm using windows home also

[@shin-ishikiri-no]

Can you copy files made in the sandbox VM to the host system?

[@ElectronicsComputers]

Sure! I showed it in the video.

[@exploitdevs]

i dont got windows sandbox

[@ElectronicsComputers]

Maybe you have Windows 11 Home.

[@reality-drift122]

sandbox doesnt get gpu accel does it?

[@ElectronicsComputers]

Unfortunately, Windows Sandbox doesn't support GPU acceleration and any advanced graphics processing.

How do I do it on home? 0:23

You can't. The title of this video is misleading.
