Windows Sandbox could be the key for Microsoft to fix problems with Win32 applications in Windows Lite

The arrival of Windows 10 May 2019 Update has brought users a series of improvements and one of them is the possibility of having a safe environment to install programs and carry out the relevant tests without affecting the operating system and the equipment

By now many of you will know that we are talking about Sandbox. Windows Sandbox becomes a kind of isolated and temporary environment in which unreliable software can be run without having to worry about operating problems on our PC.Windows Sandbox is a closed environment, only for testing, which we run from time to time and whose effects disappear once we close it. And now it has been leaked that maybe the mirror in which the rumored light version of Windows looks

Windows Sandbox

Recently we had news regarding Windows Lite, or whatever the operating system Microsoft is working on is finally called. Information about a delay due to the impossibility of using Win32 applications.

"

And Microsoft may have discovered in May 2019 Update the system to solve the problems they would be suffering. If Windows Lite (we&39;ll call it that) can&39;t run win32 applications normally, why not use a system similar to Sandbox? "

This conclusion can be reached thanks to the latest leak from Twitter user WalkingCat. A recent tweet on the microblogging social network claims that Microsoft might allow Win32 applications on Windows Lite.

To do this, it states that they would use a system similar to Windows embedded that would direct operations with those files to a clean system partition , separated from the rest.

You have to remember that Windows Lite would be a light operating system. On the one hand, it would be intended to govern devices with dual screens and on the other it would be oriented for use in the educational sector and in certain professional fields that do not want people to install apps from unknown sources that could compete against Chromebooks and Chrome OS.

Microsoft would like to control the installation of applications and although at first the possibility of preventing Win32 applications from being installed was considered, now this You can change. This would allow, if confirmed, apps to be installed without having to go through the Microsoft Store and without risking the security and integrity of the operating system.

For now it's just a rumor We don't even know the final name of Microsoft's alleged operating system, nor a date launch or possible benefits, so we can only be attentive to any news that may arrive in this regard.
