Sometimes we need to create multiple instances of an application. Some of the apps support creating multiple instances by default. Like on you can create multiple instances of Google Chrome, even you can create multiple profiles on the Google Chrome browser (see the video here).
Let’s see how you can create multiple instances (dual apps) of any application on your Windows computer. This works on Windows 10 as well as Windows 11 computers.

Now drag the application for which you want to create a second instance. It will prompt you to select a sandbox, select the DefaultBox and click on the OK button.
It will create the second instance for that application in a moment. You can run any Windows application using this Sandboxie application. Like you can see in the below screenshot I have created two instances of the WhatsApp desktop version using Sandboxie.
