    I would *love* to enable this feature and give it a try but I rely on VMware Workstation every single day (and am not willing to use HyperV for my VMs) so will I ever be able to use WDAG with VMware Workstation installed as well?

    In C:\Windows\Containers there are two .wim files of Windows.

    Not sure, but it would be interesting to find more official info about "WindowsDefenderApplicationGuard.wim".

    ,wim's are @Kari's specialty, maybe he could create a VM with both.

    I bet you're right Andre.
    Windows keeps features compressed until they are turned on, either at OOBE or later by the user.
    And .wim is basically a glorified zip format.
