In a significant move to enhance cybersecurity analysis for all its users, ANY.RUN has announced that Windows 10 is now available to everyone, including Community plan users. This update marks a substantial improvement in the platform’s ability to detect and analyze modern threats for SOC and DFIR Teams.
Previously, Community plan users were restricted to a basic Windows 7 32-bit virtual machine (VM), which limited their ability to analyze newer, more sophisticated threats. With this update, ALL users can access a Windows 10 64-bit environment, significantly improving overall threat detection and analysis capabilities.
“We believe everyone should have access to good security analysis tools, regardless of whether they’re on a paid or free plan,” said a spokesperson for ANY.RUN. “This update is our way of making that happen.”
With ANY.RUN’s new update, you can:
- Detect malware in under 40s.
- Interact with samples in real-time.
- Save time and money on sandbox setup and maintenance
- Record and study all aspects of malware behavior.
- Collaborate with your SOC/DFIR team
- Scale as you need.

Benefits of Windows 10 for Malware Analysis
The shift to Windows 10 brings several advantages:
- Improved analysis of newer threats targeting popular systems
- Higher detection rates
- More accurate reporting
- Ability to emulate 64-bit malware
A practical example highlighted by ANY.RUN is the Latrodectus malware, which doesn’t complete its full execution chain on Windows 7 but reveals itself fully on Windows 10.
This update is expected to benefit the entire ANY.RUN community. As more users adopt Windows 10 for analysis, the sandbox environment will detect a wider range of threats more effectively.
According to ANY.RUN Report, “We believe everyone should have good security analysis tools, whether you’re paying or using our free plan. This update is our way of making that happen.”
“But this update also benefits our entire community. As more users use Windows 10, our sandbox environment will become more effective at detecting a wider range of threats.”
How to Access Windows 10 on ANY.RUN
Community Plan users can now select Windows 10 64-bit from the drop-down menu when creating a new task. This option was previously grayed out for these users.
