Enable Windows Defender sandbox

Download ADMX

This policy enables the sandbox (content process) for the main process of Windows Defender. The new content processes, which run with low privileges, aggressively leverage all available mitigation policies to reduce the attack surface. They enable and prevent runtime changes for modern exploit mitigation techniques such as Data Execution Prevention (DEP), Address space layout randomization (ASLR), and Control Flow Guard (CFG). They also disable Win32K system calls and all extensibility points, as well as enforce that only signed and trusted code is loaded.
