Isolated Sandbox Environments Made Easy
Create, configure, and manage Windows Sandbox environments with a modern desktop application. Profile management, automated software installation, and full resource control.
Powerful Features
Everything you need to manage Windows sandbox environments effectively
Profile Management
Create and save multiple sandbox configurations. Switch between profiles instantly and share them with your team.
Resource Control
Configure memory allocation, vGPU settings, clipboard sharing, and other resources on a per-sandbox basis.
Folder Mapping
Share files between host and sandbox with granular read-only permissions for each mapped folder.
Software Installation
Auto-install packages via WinGet or Chocolatey when the sandbox boots. Pre-configure your development environment.
Script Automation
Run custom PowerShell scripts on sandbox startup to automate setup tasks and configurations.
Network Isolation
Toggle network access per sandbox for secure testing of untrusted software or malware analysis.
Multiple Sandboxes
Run and manage multiple independent sandboxes simultaneously. Connect to each instance with its own dedicated session.
GPU Acceleration
Enable vGPU support for seamless gaming and running local LLMs inside your sandbox environments.
Installation
Get up and running in a few simple steps
System Requirements
- Windows 11 Pro, Enterprise, or Education
- 64-bit processor with virtualization support (Intel VT-x / AMD-V)
- Virtualization enabled in BIOS/UEFI
- 4 GB RAM minimum (8 GB+ recommended)
- 10 GB free disk space
Check Hardware Requirements
Ensure your system meets the minimum requirements for Windows Sandbox and Hyper-V virtualization.
Most modern PCs with Intel VT-x or AMD-V support these requirements.
Enable Windows Sandbox
Install the Windows Sandbox optional feature using PowerShell (run as Administrator):
Enable-WindowsOptionalFeature -FeatureName "Containers-DisposableClientVM" -All -Online A restart is required after enabling this feature.
Add to Hyper-V Administrators
If not running as Administrator, add your user to the Hyper-V Administrators group:
Add-LocalGroupMember -Group "Hyper-V Administrators" -Member "$env:USERNAME" Log out and back in for group membership to take effect.
Download & Install QuickSand
Download the QuickSand installer and run it to complete the installation.
Download QuickSandInitialize Sandbox Templates
Run Windows Sandbox at least once via the QuickSand CLI to initialize system templates:
wsb start
wsb stop --id <uuid> Replace <uuid> with the ID returned by the start command.
