Windows 11 (and 10): Enable Windows Sandbox (3 methods)
In Windows 11 (and 10), Windows Sandbox is a minimal Windows installation isolated from the main installation that allows you to run untrusted applications without exposing your device.
Available in Pro and Enterprise editions of Windows, Sandbox uses Microsoft's Hyper-V technology to create an on-demand, lightweight virtual machine running a separate kernel that separates the Windows Sandbox session from the host.
In other words, this is a small installation of Windows 11 (or Windows 10) of only about 100 MB, enough to run the desktop environment and test applications. You can even copy and paste files from the host into the isolated environment. Once you're done testing the application, closing the feature will clear the sandbox environment, meaning that every time you launch the feature, you'll start with a fresh installation of Windows 11.
