That long, huh?

Why are you surprised?

I just want it, lol. Perhaps I'll join the Insider ring and put it on a couple of systems.
It is a bit long in terms of the time frame, IMHO.

No worries.

Ok, but any features planned for the next build won't come out until the build comes out, but you know that. I'm just not clear on why the time frame is so long. It's right in line.

Time frame is as expected. Just thought that March would have been better. Obviously, my opinion. That's all.

I also like the feature set of the next build.

Gotcha. It was the smilie that threw me. Implied something that wasn't there. One of the pitfalls of social media.

Sandbox is enabled and will not run for me either. Went into bios "Virtualization capabilities enabled in BIOS" and can't seem to find anything of that nature.

For me, Sandbox won't run, but I assumed that's because I also had VirtualBox installed on the system. I didn't try disabling it and rebooting to re-test Sandbox, but I expect that it would work after that.

Note: VirtualBox 6.0 has an experimental feature where it's supposed to automatically detect and co-exist with Hyper-V -- at the cost of a performance hit -- but I haven't gotten that working yet, either. Perhaps Sandbox needs to be enabled first (I did the reverse).

@Brink,

"Windows Sandbox is a new lightweight desktop environment tailored for safely running applications in isolation."

Rats! I thought this was going to be IoT; some kind of litterbox automation system...

I got the same error. My Windows 10 is running under VirtualBox but I enabled virtualisation options. Did someone was able to install under VirtualBox?

Check the SVM settings (Under MIT / Advanced Frequency settings / Advance CPU core …) Very well hidden

Bu I still can't run it (AMD FX 6300 CPU)
