Windows Sandbox configuration – Windows security | Microsoft Docs

Windows Sandbox supports simple configuration files, which provide a minimal set of customization parameters for Sandbox. This feature can be used with Windows 10 build 18342 or later. Windows Sandbox configuration files are formatted as XML and are associated with Sandbox via the .wsb file extension.

A configuration file enables the user to control the following aspects of Windows Sandbox:

  • vGPU (virtualized GPU): Enable or disable the virtualized GPU. If vGPU is disabled, the sandbox will use Windows Advanced Rasterization Platform (WARP).
  • Networking: Enable or disable network access within the sandbox.
  • Mapped folders: Share folders from the host with read or write permissions. Note that exposing host directories may allow malicious software to affect the system or steal data.
  • Logon command: A command that’s executed when Windows Sandbox starts.
  • Audio input: Shares the host’s microphone input into the sandbox.
  • Video input: Shares the host’s webcam input into the sandbox.
  • Protected client: Places increased security settings on the RDP session to the sandbox.
  • Printer redirection: Shares printers from the host into the sandbox.
  • Clipboard redirection: Shares the host clipboard with the sandbox so that text and files can be pasted back and forth.
  • Memory in MB: The amount of memory, in megabytes, to assign to the sandbox.

Topic: How to Get User Profile Data · BuddyPress.org

During a recent project, I needed to get certain User Profile Data to be used. This was used outside any loops and not on the Profile page. Hopefully this will help others seeking the same information.

To obtain the default data (such as User ID, User Login, ect) use the following:
`global $bp;
$the_user_id = $bp->loggedin_user->userdata->ID;
$the_user_login = $bp->loggedin_user->userdata->user_login;`

Userdata values include:
ID
user_login
user_pass (this is encrypted MD5 Hash)
user_nicename
user_email
user_url
user_registered
user_activation_key
user_status
display_name

To get field data from extended profile fields for the current logged in user, use the following:
`$the_first_name = bp_get_profile_field_data(‘field=First Name&user_id=’.bp_loggedin_user_id());
/* Change field name to the one you added to the profile, or if you know the field’s #, you can use that instead. */
