Activate WDAG in Insider Edge
For those who want to try Application Guard in Edge Canary:
- You must on the May 2019 update in Windows 10(Version 1903)
- Make sure you have Virtualization turned on in BIOS
- Make sure WDAG is turned on in Windows Features(Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Programs and Features).
- Make sure it works in "Classic Edge"
- When it works there go to edge://flags/#edge-application-guard and enable it.
- Using that flag is no longer needed.
also don't need people to check if it works in the old Edge first. the new Microsoft Edge is like Google Chrome, totally different. there might be times when it works on Edge but doesn't on the new Edge. Deleted A side note: WDAG, which is dependent on Hyper-V, is available for Windows 10 Pro and Windows 10 Enterprise users. It is not, to my best knowledge, available for Windows 10 Home users, even for users running 1903.
In Windows 10 Pro, you must have both Hyper-V and Windows Defender Application Guard enabled (Control Panel, Programs and Features, Turn Windows features on or off, click the boxes for both Hyper-V and Windows Defender Application Guard), restart and then follow Cliff S's instructions to enable the extension.
tomscharbach You're right.
The actual idea of the post is, though, if one does already have WDAG activated, it can be used now in Insider Edge (big)if one has updated to Windows 10 version 1903.
I just posted the short version on how to get in case some one hasn't used it yet.
I saw a few other posts where members were asking when it would be available, and I had seen a week or two ago at Bleeping(dot)com that it was already available, but couldn't get it.
Last night when I updated to 1903, and then checked, low & behold it was there😎

We aren't in conflict. I just wanted to alert Windows 10 Home users that WDAG is not available for that edition of Windows. The hope is that the alert will head off "I can't find WDAG ..." comments from Windows 10 Home users.
