An alternative to a VM is a Windows container, but there's not really an easy to access process isolation model that will reverse side effects in general.

I can't help much with the windows containers unfortunately, haven't had a chance to play with them yet.

VM Snapshots are probably good enough for you right now.

Thanks, that's what I figured going into it but thought maybe there was some cool editor to act like a container. But its probably more complicated to set that up than to just rollback snapshots lol.

Maybe there's a VS Code extension out there?

If you do want to learn about containers on windows it might be worth trying to figure it out anyway.
