Cloud Files and Sync Providers
Organizations leveraging OneDrive, SharePoint sync, or various third-party cloud storage solutions are encouraged to conduct thorough validations of their sync-root connectivity and file hydration workflows. This testing should encompass a range of scenarios, including:
- Sync-root connection and disconnection
- Hydration and dehydration processes
- Client restarts and upgrades
- Unexpected client crashes
- Account unlinking and relinking
- Multi-user interactions
By addressing these areas, businesses can ensure a seamless experience for users and maintain the integrity of their data management systems.
Windows Sandbox and Virtualization
Recent updates to the kernel and storage virtualization components have implications for the functionality of Windows Sandbox. Organizations that utilize Sandbox for application testing or isolated browsing should take proactive steps to:

- Configure folder mappings through configuration files.
- Validate accessibility of mapped folders, ensuring that essential file operations—such as creating, modifying, and deleting files—are executed without issues.
These measures will enhance the efficiency and reliability of the Sandbox environment, allowing for a more effective testing and browsing experience.
