How to get Windows Sandbox on Windows Home

[Noobnoo 0]

Windows Sandbox is not available officially for Windows 10 Home. It is possible, however, to enable the feature on Home devices provided that they run Windows 10 version 1903 or later.

Sandbox Installer is a batch file that you may run on Windows 10 Home devices that meet the requirements to unlock Windows Sandbox on the device.

All that needs to be done is to download the file from the Deskmodder website, unpack the archive, and double-click it.

The batch script checks for elevated privileges first before it makes Windows Sandbox available on the Home device. It is necessary to restart the PC after the batch script has run its course.

You may then enable Windows Sandbox in the Control Panel as  follows:

 

• 
   
  
• Use the shortcut Windows-Pause to open the System Control Panel applet.
   
  
• Select Control Panel Home.
   
  
• Activate Programs.
   
  
• Select Turn Windows features on or off.
   
  
• Check Windows Sandbox.
   
  
• Click OK and follow the instructions.
  

You may also enable the feature using the Settings application:

 

• 
   
  
• Use the shortcut Windows-I to open the Settings application.
   
  
• Go to Apps > Apps & Features > Programs and Features > Turn Windows Features on or off.
   
  
• Select Enable Windows Sandbox.
