How to enable Windows Sandbox on Windows 10 to run unreliabe exe file

Overview

Microsoft is trying to solve a problem that has long existed for Windows users, that is how to run an unknown .exe file on a PC safely?

Original – every time the Windows Sandbox is launched, it will act as a completely new installation of Windows, and is completely “clean”.
Disposable – nothing is retained, everything will be deleted completely after you close the application.
Security – Sandbox uses hardware-based virtualization to isolate the kernel, relying on Microsoft virtualization to run the kernel separately, and also isolate Windows Sandbox from the host computer.
Efficiency – Sandbox uses an integrated kernel scheduler, intelligently manages memory and virtual GPU.
