Enable or Disable Printer Sharing with Windows Sandbox in Windows 11

Virtualization Enable or Disable Printer Sharing with Windows Sandbox in Windows 11

This tutorial will show you how to enable or disable printer sharing with Windows Sandbox for all users in Windows 10 and Windows 11. Windows Sandbox provides a lightweight desktop environment to safely run applications in isolation. Software installed inside the Windows Sandbox environment remains "sandboxed" and runs separately from the host machine. A sandbox is temporary. When it's closed, all the software and files and the state are deleted. You get a brand-new instance of the sandbox every time you open the app. Windows Sandbox is not able to view and share printers from the host (Windows 10/11) by default.

Enable or Disable Hyper-V in Windows 11

Virtualization Enable or Disable Hyper-V in Windows 11

This tutorial will show you how to enable or disable the Hyper-V feature for all users in Windows 10 and Windows 11. Hyper-V enables running virtualized computer systems on top of a physical host. These virtualized systems can be used and managed just as if they were physical computer systems, however they exist in virtualized and isolated environment. Special software called a hypervisor manages access between the virtual systems and the physical hardware resources. Virtualization enables quick deployment of computer systems, a way to quickly restore systems to a previously known good state, and the ability to migrate systems between physical hosts. When Hyper-V is enabled, each account can use Hyper-V Manager (virtmgmt.msc) to...

Enable or Disable Clear Virtual Memory Paging File at Shutdown in Windows 11

Virtualization Enable or Disable Clear Virtual Memory Paging File at Shutdown in Windows 11

This tutorial will show you how to enable or disable clear virtual memory paging file at shutdown or restart for all users in Windows 10 and Windows 11. A paging file (aka: "page file" and "virtual memory") enables the system to remove infrequently accessed modified data from physical memory to let the system use physical memory more efficiently for more frequently accessed data. Windows also uses the page file to store data when physical memory (RAM) is full. The Shutdown: Clear virtual memory pagefile policy setting determines whether the virtual memory paging file is cleared when the device is shut down or restarted. Virtual memory support uses a system paging file to swap pages of memory to disk when they aren't used. On a running...

Install Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) in Windows 11

Virtualization Install Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) in Windows 11

This tutorial will show you how to install the Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) feature in Windows 10 and Windows 11. The Windows Subsystem for Linux lets developers run a GNU/Linux environment -- including most command-line tools, utilities, and applications -- directly on Windows, unmodified, without the overhead of a traditional virtual machine or dualboot setup. WSL 2 is a new version of the Windows Subsystem for Linux architecture that powers the Windows Subsystem for Linux to run ELF64 Linux binaries on Windows. Its primary goals are to increase file system performance, as well as adding full system call compatibility. This new architecture changes how these Linux binaries interact with Windows and your computer's hardware, but...

Testing Macrium Reflect restore using VirtualBox virtual machine

Virtualization Testing Macrium Reflect restore using VirtualBox virtual machine

When making your first Macrium Reflect image of your PC the final test that the image is full and complete would be to boot from the Reflect rescue media and perform a full restore. This is not something you'd want to risk trying just as a test, so many do not do a restore until circumstances mean that they have to do it for real. That is perhaps not the best time to learn how to restore, and it's certainly a very bad time to find out that your image is missing an important partition. This article offers a safe way to practice a full bare metal restore to a new machine, without risking destroying your PC if it goes badly wrong. Rather than restoring to your (perhaps only) PC the restore will be performed in a Virtual Machine (VM)...

Add New Multiple Desktops in Windows 11

Virtualization Add New Multiple Desktops in Windows 11

This tutorial will show you how to add new multiple virtual desktops for your account in Windows 11. Task View (Win+Tab) is a multiple desktop manager that allows you to quickly switch between all of your open apps on multiple desktops. This makes multitasking and organizing your opened apps much easier. You can add multiple desktops to group apps for productivity, entertainment, or whatever you choose. Multiple desktops are also great for keeping unrelated, ongoing projects organized, or for quickly switching desktops before a meeting. When you add multiple desktops, the desktops will remain available for your account, (even after a sign out, restart, or shut down), until you manually close them. Reference...
