Logon script for Windows Sandbox

This is my personal logon script for Windows Sandbox.

Tested on Windows 11. Some things may not work on a Windows 10 sandbox.

Getting Started

Clone the repo and create your own configuration file.

git clone https://github.com/Strappazzon/wsb.git
cd wsb/
cp config.example.wsb config.wsb

For all configuration options, see: Windows Sandbox configuration. You can also create your configuration file with WSBEditor.

What the script does

This script will run at logon and will change / install the following:
