Microsoft's repository of tools and documentation for Win32 app isolation, a Windows security feature that contains damage from compromised applications using AppContainers and resource virtualization. The repo primarily serves as a hub for filing bugs, feature requests, and questions about the technology.

Use cases

• isolate win32 desktop apps to limit blast radius of compromise
• sandbox legacy windows applications for privacy protection
• enable appcontainer-based isolation for my windows app
• learn how win32 app isolation works
• file bugs or ask questions about win32 app isolation

When to choose

• you develop Windows desktop apps and want to isolate them with AppContainer-based sandboxing
• you need official documentation and support channels for Win32 app isolation
• you want to report issues or request features for the isolation platform

When to avoid

• you need application sandboxing on Linux or macOS
• you want a general-purpose container or VM solution rather than Windows-native app isolation
• you need a ready-to-use end-user product rather than tools and documentation
