What is Windows Sandbox?
Windows Sandbox has the following properties:
Part of Windows – everything required for this feature ships with Windows 10 Pro and Enterprise. No need to download a VHD! Pristine – every time Windows Sandbox runs, it’s as clean as a brand-new installation of Windows Disposable – nothing persists on the device; everything is discarded after you close the application Secure – uses hardware-based virtualization for kernel isolation, which relies on the Microsoft’s hypervisor to run a separate kernel which isolates Windows Sandbox from the host Efficient – uses integrated kernel scheduler, smart memory management, and virtual GPU

Easy to install, without any knowledge
Preinstalled in Win 10 v18305, but only windows OS dekstop environment supported
Only avalible on Windows 10 Pro
Pretty broken at the moment, even while using an Insider build.
There's definitely potential here though. In 2-3 years when Microsoft has finally bothered to work out the issues, this will be a great program. Until then, just use Virtualbox.
It's not really a virtual machine though, it's a sandbox. Running files such as an .exe in an isolated environment. No need for a VM if you just need it for stuff like that.
