What kind of sandbox does Windows have? All I could find was about a pro/enterprise feature but even that has to be explicitly started and I doubt minecraft users used that.

Not having admin rights is almost uselessly crude as a “sandbox”.

There is the one called "windows sandbox" but it's not persistent making it useless.

More recently, I've been following https://github.com/microsoft/win32-app-isolation which seems incredibly interesting! If they can pull it off, we will have mobile-os like security on windows, finally, after all these years.

It has been my #1 feature request for windows for so long... I almost can't believe it's actually happening.
