>Agent workspace is a separate,
contained Windows session made
just for AI agents, where they get
their own account, desktop, and
permissions so they can click, type,
open apps, and work on your files in the background while you keep
using your normal desktop. Instead of letting an agent act
directly as you, Windows spins up
this extra workspace, gives it limited
access (like specific folders such as
Documents or Desktop), and keeps
its actions isolated and auditable. Each agent can have its own
workspace and access rules, so
what one agent can see or do
doesn’t automatically apply to
others, and you stay in control of
what they’re allowed to touch.
The headline is very clickbaity. This is not quite the privacy destroying anti feature CPU eater. It's more like a feature some people may enjoy and others an annoying nuisance that they have to remember to disable. It's likely going to be so resource heavy and a privacy concern that i can't imagine they would ever enable it by default.
If they realize the value of "sandboxing" something so insecure they should also be making it really easy for you to do the same with any app, or set of apps...
