sandbox is quite literally a vm as well, it is a Microsoft Hyper-V VM and if you turn on sandbox you turn on Microsoft Hyper-V as well

it may affect other software that use a vm like bluestacks or other vm software like virtualbox or vmware

the benefits of sandbox would be it is faster to boot and is self resetting

but a fully featured vm would allow you to save stuff

By the way, a side issue.

Glad that I have upgraded to Win 11. Find it cleaner and easier to use than Win 10. The upgrade took 3 hrs but was smooth without any input from me. They used the settings in my Win 10.

Try it and see.

They relocated the shutdown button. So have to remember that.

By the way, can clean up a drive via Explorer - properties in Win 10. Now cannot. How now?

Thanks.

well I guess it's better now but back then bluestacks wanted me to uninstall and reinstall a made for hyper-v variant of bluestacks
