    Costs $21.65 EACH year... which is WAY too much. And Sandboxie has countless positive reviews, which Shade lacks.

    Sandboxie - once a great program is now extremely buggy in the latest Windows 10. Windows Sandbox while it is a light VM just works out of the box and is meant to be used as a Sandbox.

    Windows Sandbox has way more requirements that make it unviable for a lot of users. From the official site: "Prerequisites for using the feature Windows 10 Pro or Enterprise Insider build 18305 or later AMD64 architecture Virtualization capabilities enabled in BIOS At least 4GB of RAM (8GB recommended) At least 1 GB of free disk space (SSD recommended) At least 2 CPU cores (4 cores with hyperthreading recommended)"
