No WiFi in Win10 Pro (1903) Windows Sandbox

I (seemingly) successfully updated my Surface Pro 6 to v.1903 today, and after some initial fumbles enabling it, now have Windows Sandbox enabled and it seems to open just fine. However, there is no WiFi access within Sandbox.

Accessing Settings for Network & Internet, the list on the left is:

Status
Ethernet
Dial-up
VPN
Airplane mode
Date usage
Proxy

WiFi appears no place in that window. Network status shows No Internet Access.

What step am I missing to be able to access the internet from within the Sandbox using my computer's WiFi connection?

Hi, maybe it's because on your host os you have a public/private connection.
Let me know if you solved the problem.

In Windows Network and Sharing Center it shows the WiFi connection on the host WIn10 Pro as "Public network," is that what you mean?

Still no WiFi in the Sandbox.

Yep, try to set it private. Other thing i saw it's about being in VPN.

I need to do some research on how to change a connection type, but first, I seem to have another issue. Now, when I try to launch Sandbox:

There's a problem with it right now (similar to yours): maybe no internet it's related.

Thanks. It's a slightly different error number, but could be related. Who knows? I had Googled my error number (ending 7023e) and everything that popped up was that one (ending 70002).

Sandbox Location:
C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs

1.Do you see the WIFI icon? If not, in Device Manager delete (uninstall) the wireless driver and restart.

2.Screenshot shows what you should get.

All the best,

I don't see the Wifi Adapter.
I did an uninstall/reinstall of the device and a Network reset without results.
I am afraid my adapter is not supported.....darn!
I have the Intel® Dual Band Wireless-AC 7265.

I didn't have any WiFi icon within the Sandbox. I have it outside the Sandbox, which is how I'm connected to the internet to post here.

Until I am able to launch Sandbox (see above error message) the whole thing is on hold, anyway.
