When you finish trying the program, closing the Windows Sandbox will completely delete all the file status and software on the desktop .

In Windows Sandbox, it is possible to safely establish an environment independent from the host PC by using the new technology "Integrated Scheduler" which separates the kernel from the host PC and makes it independent. In addition, the completely independent environment is reproduced in the physical memory and GPU installed in the host PC.
