Hi everyone,

I am running Win 11 Pro and am happily using Vmware Workstation Pro 17.

My question is, if I enable Windows Sandbox will Vmware still work?

Thanks for any help!

Yes but VMWare does not always play well with a type 1 hypervisor activated (needed for sandbox).
You may experience a reduction in performance.

Frankly sandbox is not that useful, and you can pretty much do same with a vm if you do not connect hosts drives to the vm, and avoid networking.
