This tutorial will show you how to enable or disable vGPU sharing for Windows Sandbox for all users in Windows 10 and Windows 11.
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 app.
Virtualized GPU (vGPU) for Windows Sandbox is enabled by default.
If you disable vGPU, Windows Sandbox will use software rendering, which can be slower than virtualized GPU.
