    Why my Windows doesn't have the Sandbox?


    Im running a pc with core i5 6600k, 16Gb ram and all requirements.

    I just updated windows to 1903 but in windows features, it doesn't show the option to install the Sandbox.

    What could cause this issue?

    You need to go Control Panel - Uninstall programs - Turn Windows features on

    • Virtualization capabilities enabled in BIOS
    • At least 4GB of RAM (8GB recommended)
    • At least 1 GB of free disk space (SSD recommended)
    • At least 2 CPU cores (4 cores with hyperthreading recommended)

    The only option I found in bios related to virtualization is Intel VT or something like that. Is there any other option to core i5 skylake?

    I was able to activate Sandbox via admin prompt. Powershell fail too.

    Then I received this error message:

    Windows Sandbox may fail to start with error code “0x80070002”

    In the following page says MS is investigating the problem yet, so no Sandbox to me.

    Thanks for your help folks.

    My advice is to forget using the MS sandbox with all it's goofy things you have to have turned on and what not stuff and just use Comodo for your firewall(With included sandbox) and all your problems will be solved.

    And unlike the MS sandbox with Comodo it is really simple to work with,activate and works on all versions of windows Pro or Home.

    One thing to remember and look out for if you decide to go with the Comodo firewall is during set up to be very careful about not letting it install alot of other stuff you don't need......And just install the firewall and nothing else and you will be fine.

    I have been using Comodo's firewall for probably around 15 years or so and I think it is the best firewall on the planet and the added sandbox function is just an added bonus and after seeing all the hoops you have to jump through just to turn on the MS sandbox is just a joke to me and I'm using Win 10 Home so I can't use it even if I wanted too which I don't!
