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?

Another interesting find Shawn.
In C:\Windows\Containers there are two .wim files of Windows.
Maybe to be mounted as a sandbox pseudo VM`?

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

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.

I enabled it for about a hour or two and mainly watched heating on the cpu as I browsed around. CPU heats up faster and higher when loading a new page and maybe when actively browsing it stays up a slight amount but cools to normal when sitting and just reading a webpage. Didn't notice any added slowness to page loadings - and then finally simply reimaged my system to clean it all out because mainly it wont allow browser extensions and I need my adblocker.
I didn't enable the Hyper-V in programs & features yet it seems to work as described.
It built a folder "C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\HVSI" showing about 3.5gb containing two .vhx type virtual files, yet my C;\ showed it had increased only about 1gb in total used space.
Was surprised I had to manually switch to the secured edge, thought it would automatically open everything into it. Didn't take the time to investigate the group policy settings before ending my test drive.
