How to Enable or Disable Printer Sharing in Windows Sandbox in Windows 10
How to Enable or Disable Printer Sharing in Windows Sandbox in Windows 10.
Windows Sandbox is an isolated, temporary, desktop environment where you can run untrusted software without the fear of lasting impact to your PC. Starting in Windows 10 build 20161, it is possible to enable or disable printer sharing with Windows Sandbox.
Any software installed in Windows Sandbox stays only in the sandbox and cannot affect your host. Once Windows Sandbox is closed, all the software with all its files and state are permanently deleted.
When you do not configure the printer sharing group policy while working in a sandboxed environment, all host printers are shared into Windows Sandbox by default. You can change this setting following the instructions given in the post below! See how to enable or disable Printer Sharing in Windows Sandbox.
Windows Sandbox provides a lightweight desktop environment to safely run applications in isolation. Software installed inside the Windows Sandbox environment remains "sandboxed" and runs separately from the host machine.
A sandbox is temporary. When it's closed, all the software and files and the state are deleted. You get a brand-new instance of the sandbox every time you open the application.
Starting with Windows 10 build 20161, a new group policy setting was added that enables or disables printer sharing from the host into the Sandbox.
If you enable or do not configure this policy setting, host (Windows 10 PC) printers will be shared into Windows Sandbox.
If you disable this policy setting, Windows Sandbox will not be able to view printers from the host (Windows 10 PC).
This tutorial will show you how to enable or disable printer sharing with Windows Sandbox for all users in Windows 10.
This tutorial will apply for computers, laptops, desktops,and tablets running the Windows 10 operating system (Home, Professional, Enterprise, Education) from all supported hardware manufactures, like Dell, HP, Acer, Asus, Toshiba,Lenovo, and Samsung).
