How to Disable clipboard Access in Windows 10?

Windows Desktop Windows 10
1

I want to start using Windows 10 Sandbox for connecting to my remote job!

I am a programmer developer. Part of that job involves at times, copying and pasting confidential data. Currently, I use a Virtual machine with clipboard access disabled to ensure that none of that data ends up back on the host and then potentially picked up by some other application running on the host.

Windows 10 Sandbox seems like it would be a great replacement for my Virtual machine, but the clipboard is bidirectionally shared with the host.

I have not found a way to disable the clipboard access between it and the host, nor have I thought up any creative ways to disable it short of running a program to clear the clipboard every 100ms or so.

Does anybody have any ideas or experience with this??? Thanks!!!
