Why is Sandboxie working so bad on Windows 10 pro 64 bit??
If you sandbox a site then try to do another site it takes forever
for the 2nd site to appear. Usually I just delete the 1st site and
create another for the 2nd sight. What a pain!!!
Sandboxie is working very well in Windows 10 2004 19041.450. Browsing feels fast, same as unsandboxed. The browsers I use are Firefox, and lately, I have been using Edge more and more. Both browsers feel pretty good.
If you are having an issue browsing, perhaps an extension you are using is conflicting with the browser and/or SBIE. You could try running the browser without extensions, to see what happens. Perhaps try doing a test with a new profile. You didn't mention the browser you are using, but most browsers are A OK with Sandboxie. Sometimes antiviruses conflict with SBIE, some work better than others with SBIE. Some have a good history working with SBIE, and some don't. What you are experiencing could be caused by a AV update. A simple signature update could cause it, and be fix by another virus signature a day or days later.
You could also delete sandbox contents manually if you dont have it set to be done autommatically. Many issues (that are really non issues) get fixed by just doing that. I set my everyday browser sandboxes to delete automatically. Thats really the best way to set this up.
You can also create a new sandbox, and test the browsers without changing Sandbox settings. In other words, do the test with default settings. Doing this would fix your problem if your issue is being caused by a corrupted sandbox or a setting you have enabled that is causing the issue.
You didnt mention the SBIE version you are using, but this is the one you should be using in W10 with latest updates. You can upgrade over the top if you are not using this version, and perhaps it ll be best if you dont tick the option to save settings.

Sorry, it took me a while to see this thread but it shouldn't be in this sub forum. I just found it by pure luck. The correct sub forum where Sandboxie threads should be placed is the one that has to with System Security.

Thanks Mr. Elam.
Sorry I put it in the wrong forum.
Will give new one a try.
I find a read-only forum pretty useless. I've been using Sandboxie since it first published. The recent version keeps starting up on my system boot and I can't get it off my system tray. I've tried Windows settings, taskbar notifications and turned it off in the select which icons appear on the system tray, but it completely ignores that. There used to be a setting that you could select it not to start on Windows boot. Do you know how to prevent this annoying new feature?
