How To

Run Microsoft Edge in Sandbox with Windows Defender Application Guard


RUN MICROSOFT EDGE IN SANDBOX WITH WINDOWS DEFENDER APPLICATION GUARD

Rajkumar Maurya Last Updated: March 21, 2021 How To No Comments

To test some online applications using the Microsoft Edge browser but in an
isolated and protected Sandbox environment, we can take the support of Windows
10 office or Edge Defender Application Guard (WDAG). And here in this tutorial,
we let you know how to do this…

The new Microsoft Edge based on Chromium offers a possibility to isolate the
browser session from the rest of the system. Of course, this is not some feature
that we want to use regularly that’s why it is disabled by default. To run Edge
browser in a Sandbox environment, we need to first enable the “Microsoft
Defender Application Guard” feature.

Well, one thing to be noted that, Defender Application Guard is not available in
the home version of Windows 10, but only in the Professional, Enterprise, and
Education editions running on Build 16188+. And for good performance, the system
should have at least 8 GB of RAM and a CPU that supports Second Level Address
Translation (SLAT) which are common nowadays in all modern system running
Windows 10 operating systems.

 

What is Defender Application Guard (WDAG) and how does it work?

To execute Microsoft Edge browser and Office apps such as Word, PowerPoint, and
Excel in a safe environment, so that they can’t harm the main system; Microsoft
has implemented a feature on Windows 10 called Defender Application Guard.  It
helps enterprises and other users to run Edge browser and office app in an
isolated Hyper-V virtual machine/container to make them separate from the host
operating system.

This feature helps developers, enterprises, and common users to visit websites
that are not safe to visit in a standard environment. The container isolation
means, if the untrusted site or file turns out to be malicious, the host device
is protected, and the attacker can’t get credentials or other enterprise data
saved on the browser & system.





Note: As this uses the native virtual machine, thus you would need to change the
Paravirtualization interface to Hyper-V in VirtualBox to run its VMs. Still,
there is no surety that your Vmware or VirtualBox will work properly after
enabling this feature.

ENABLE DEFENDER APPLICATION GUARD

By default, Windows Defender Application Guard will not be activated, therefore
to use this feature we need to manually activate it from the “Turn Windows
features on or off” option.

 1. Go to the Windows 10 search box and type – Turn Windows features and when
    you see it, click on the Open link.
 2. Now, scroll and find to enable Microsoft Defender Application Guard.
    
 3. Check the box given in front of it.
 4. Wait for few seconds, the system will install this feature.
 5. Now, restart your Windows 10 to let the changes take effect.
    

 

Alternatively, we can enable it using the PowerShell command. Right-click on
Windows 10 Start Menu and select Windows PowerShell (admin) and copy-paste the
below command:

Enable-WindowsOptionalFeature -online -FeatureName Windows-Defender-ApplicationGuard

 


RUN MICROSOFT EDGE IN APPLICATION GUARD

Once you have restarted your system and activated Application Gaud, it’s time to
run your Microsoft Edge browser in with.

 * Open Microsoft edge on your Windows 10 system
 * Click on the three dots given on the right top side to access settings.
 * Select “New Application Guard windows“.  Alternatively, you can use the
   keyboard shortcut “Ctrl+Shift+A“.
 * This will start a New Edge browser session in a sandbox environment.  The
   process would take some time depending upon your system speed.

 


CHECK EDGE INTEGRATION

Well, you hardly can make any difference, in the newly opened session because
everything looks the same even all settings of the Edge browser are available in
Defender mode. Of course, it will be because it is the same browser just running
on a virtual machine.

However, if you want to aware that whether the Edge is running in Defender
Application Guard or not; you can see an icon right to the URL bar. Click that
and it will show “You are browsing in Application Guard for Microsoft Edge. This
helps keep your computer safer by creating a separate browsing environment.”



If you go to Settings, a message appears “Your browser is managed by your
organization”. Well, you can access all settings of the browser as you do in a
normal session including Extensions, Import of bookmarks, Save data to clipboard
or paste from the clipboard, and more… But things like Sign in with a Microsoft
or company account and Store files outside of the sandbox will not be available
to use.

 


HOW TO ENABLE APPLICATION GUARD FEATURES FOR EDGE BROWSER

Well, few features will not be accessible while using Edge on Defender
Application Guard unless you enable them manually from the setting such as
Saving of Edge Data,  Copy-paste from the Application Guard for Microsoft Edge,
Print files,  Camera and microphone, and Advanced Graphics. Thus, to use them
follow the below steps…

 * In the Windows 10 Search box type- Windows Security.
 * Select App & browser control.
 * Select the “Change Application Guard Settings” link from the right-side
   panel.
   
 * Now, you will have all the settings related to Guard. Enable the one you want
   such as copy-paste.
   

 


DISABLE OR UNINSTALL

Well, you can either go to the Turn windows feature on or off, from where you
have enabled this Sandbox feature. And just uncheck it again to revert to old
settings. Alternatively, click on the link given in Windows Security under Apps
& Browser control to uninstall Application guard.



Or Directly run the below command in PowerShell as Admin.

Disable-WindowsOptionalFeature -online -FeatureName Windows-Defender-ApplicationGuard

 

Closing thoughts

Thus, this was the way to use this Edge Sandbox feature while running the whole
system in a normal regular environment. Whatever happens in the sandbox stays in
the sandbox. So if you actually land on a malicious site, it cannot access the
actual system. This means some possible threat, malicious file, script, code, or
any other type of infected file will remain trapped in the sandbox and
automatically disappear unless and until you enable copy-paste feature and
deliberately copy some file from sandbox to your main system.

Thus, saying that the Application Guard is primarily intended for use in
companies will not be wrong.  Also, remember one thing, after enabling this
feature you perhaps face slow down or some issues with VirtualBox or Vmware
Workstation player VMs.  Know about this Windows 10 feature from the official
website.
