Microsoft introduced Microsoft Execution Containers (MXC) at its Build developer conference. This operating system-level sandbox enables Windows to run autonomous AI agents securely. The technology provides a policy-driven environment to isolate agent access to system files and code.
Key launch partners include OpenAI, Nvidia, Manus, and Nous Research. MXC functions as a foundational SDK and policy model embedded directly into Windows. The system offers isolation levels ranging from lightweight processes to micro-virtual machines. This framework ensures all AI agent actions remain attributable, audited, and governed.
