A shortcut for useful actions in Windows Sandbox
Windows Sandbox is strange. For those who would benefit most, it's unknown, not advertised, locked behind Pro, and hidden in the optional features menu. For those who use VMs daily, you're probably using full Hyper-V, or a type-2, which gets disabled when Sandbox is enabled. But if you just need disposable, performant guests, this may be of use.
