Microsoft Store in Windows Sandbox

By default, Microsoft Store does not include in Windows Sandbox. In case you want to test an app from Store, you must have enabled it first.

1. Right-click on the Windows Start icon, then select Windows PowerShell Admin.

2. Run the below command to allow running the script. Describes the PowerShell execution policies and explains how to manage them from Microsoft. 

Set-ExecutionPolicy Bypass Process -Force

3. We’ve created a PowerShell script to do all manual steps automatically. 

Note

Our PowerShell script is safe, but you should verify the security and contents of any script from the internet you are not familiar with.

  3. This update of Windows PowerShell in Sandbox, you can execute only this command:
    irm bonguides.com/wsb/msstore | iex,
    without to make PowerShell administrator and without to execute this command:
    Set-ExecutionPolicy Bypass Process -Force
    and its processing is updated into this green text:
    Installing Microsoft Store and its dependencies…
    Done.
    just I am saying that to save time to others who will do that.

  9. Seems Microsoft has disabled Microsoft Store apps from running in Windows Sandbox. Starting with Windows 11, version 24H2, all inbox store apps like Calculator, Photos, Notepad, and Terminal are not available inside Windows Sandbox. This change aims to maintain the isolated and secure environment of the Sandbox. However, Microsoft plans to re-enable these apps in the future.
