Windows-Sandbox-Utilities VS EverythingToolbar

Windows has a lot of things in this department. https://github.com/microsoft/Windows-Sandbox-Utilities sounds similar to what you describe, but there are also finer-grained APIs: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/secauthz/app...

You could use the Windows Sandbox to prevent them from accessing anything sensitive on your computer. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/security/threat-pro...

If you're unsure about a program's security (and you have 10 Pro), run it in Sandbox mode. Otherwise, download VMWare Workstation and create a virtual machine.

Windows Sandbox is literally made for this, is lighter, integrated into the OS and free.

He directed me to start a browser, which I did inside Windows Sandbox (a new lightweight container-based VM-ish on Windows). He asked me to go to "9190.org" in the browser, enter the invoice number. That downloads a "ScreenShareClientRefund.exe" which he instructed me to start. At that point I told him "Nice try, scammer! That would have fooled a lot of people." He hung up - no drama.

Windows Sandbox is a feature of Windows 10+. If you use older or can't use it for some reason, get VirtualBox and make a VM without any network access.

Do you think he is confusing the partial sandboxing of Windows Defender with Windows Sandbox? If so, why?

Lastly, if you use the Windows search feature, EverythingToolbar is an awesome companion worth checking out.

There's also EverythingToolbar and Windows 11 support is currently available in the beta here.

So I just got the EverythingToolbar thanks to this unexpected treasure trove, and I would love for the Windows key to open it instead of the Start Menu, but I couldn't figure out how to do this.
