To clarify, the same AppContainer mechanism that UWP apps run in is available for use by Win32 apps (e.g., desktop IE11 used it for "Enhanced Protected Mode"). It's not suitable as a way for users to force existing apps designed for medium trust to run under AppContainer, which I'm guessing is what you meant?

No actually I wasn't aware AppContainer was available to Win32 apps, I thought the only thing they could use is integrity and the pre-Vista permission model.
