Windows 10 19H1 Will Feature Windows Sandbox For Running Apps In Isolation

-
Microsoft has officially announced Windows Sandbox, a new desktop environment meant for running applications in isolation. The feature will land in Windows 10 19H1 by early next year.
Windows Sandbox will allow Windows 10 Pro and Enterprise Edition users to execute suspicious applications in an isolated environment where the apps installed in the sandbox will not affect the host. Once the user has closed the Sandbox, all the files and software will be permanently deleted.

Requirements For Windows Sandbox

Microsoft has announced following pre-requisites for using the Windows Sandbox feature:
  • Windows 10 Pro or Enterprise build 18305 or later
  • AMD64 architecture
  • Virtualization capabilities enabled in BIOS
  • At least 4GB of RAM (8GB recommended)
  • At least 1 GB of free disk space (SSD recommended)
  • At least 2 CPU cores (4 cores with hyperthreading recommended)
In the official blog post, Microsoft said that it built the feature by using the technologies used within Windows Containers and integrated Windows 10 in it. The Redmond based company has used a new technology called “integrated scheduler” in the Windows Sandbox that allows hosts to decide when the Sandbox runs.
The idea behind Windows Sandbox is to add a feature that is basically an app for running other apps in an isolated environment while providing all the security features one would demand from a virtual machine.

If you’re sick of giant ads taking up space on your tiny phone’s screen, you’re not alone. I’ve figured out quite a number of ways to banish them from your phone. Ads  can make browsing annoying on some sites, especially on a such a little screen (and they can make some apps very difficult to use). The method you will be able to use depends largely on whether your android device is rooted or not, so I've rounded up the two best methods for blocking ads on your phone.  1. Adaway app [rooted phones]       By far the best ad blocking solution is AdAway, which will block ads from most known sources, both in your browser of choice and in the apps you use. Just download it, start it up, and hit the “Download files and apply ad blocking” button. It’ll download a few host files and merge them into your phone’s, blocking those apps from ever reaching your device. You may need to reboot after you do this. You can also disable ad blocking at any time, but again...
