Browsers and Mail Open New Application Guard Window in Microsoft Edge

This tutorial will show you how to open a new Microsoft Edge in Application Guard window for your account in the Pro, Education, and Enterprise editions of Windows 10 and Windows 11.

Microsoft Defender Application Guard opens Microsoft Edge in an isolated Hyper-V browsing container like a sandbox to better protect your device and data from malware.

When you browse in Application Guard for Microsoft Edge, certain actions like save data, copy and paste, printing, access to camera and microphone, and advanced graphics are disabled by default. You can choose to turn on these actions, but be aware that your browsing might be less secure.

It is required to have Microsoft Defender Application Guard installed to open an Application Guard for Microsoft Edge window.

Microsoft Defender Application Guard, including the Windows Isolated App Launcher APIs, is being deprecated for Microsoft Edge for Business and will no longer be updated. Please download the Microsoft Edge For Business Security Whitepaper to learn more about Edge for Business security capabilities.
