    Hello,

    Yes, Microsoft Defender for Endpoint includes a built-in sandbox feature called Microsoft Defender Antivirus Sandbox for analyzing suspicious files in an isolated environment.

    To enable it, open Command Prompt as Administrator and run:

    
    setx /M MP_FORCE_USE_SANDBOX 1
    

    Then restart your system for the changes to take effect.

    For advanced cloud-based sandboxing, Microsoft Defender for Office 365 and Microsoft Defender for Endpoint provide Safe Attachments and Deep Analysis in Defender Portal (security.microsoft.com).
