Hi Brink

You should update your title of your post or may be a huge text in BIG size. Your post title is misleading to many users.

@Brink

Prerequisites for using the feature:

Windows 10 Pro or Enterprise Insider build 18305 or higher

This tutorial will show you how to enable the Windows Sandbox feature on a PC with Windows 10 Home edition installed.

@karl8,

Pro or Enterprise is the default requirements. This tutorial will allow you to install Sandbox on Home.

The rest below is what is needed:

Windows 10 build 18305 or higher
AMD64 architecture (64-bit)
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)

@Brink
Thanks for the warm reply.

Windows 10 build 18305 or higher

I am running Windows 10 Home 18362.112 non-insider build.

I have space,RAM,visualization enabled,Intel 64bit i5 (does it really matter, instead of AMD.. what I know is Intel64 ~ AMD64 )

Thanks

AMD64 is just another way of saying it must be 64-bit, and not 32-bit. It's not related to AMD vs Intel CPU.

I'm thinking it's currently a bug. I'm seeing more and more people reporting issues with this right now.

Ok I will be waiting for you to resolve this..

Hello Cmd858, and welcome to Ten Forums.

Just to verify, does your PC meet all the prerequisites listed at the top of this tutorial?

I believe that my pc has everything it should need to have.

Not if Microsoft changed the coding, nullifying Brinks fix. In that case Pro or Enterprise my be the only way; and unless you have one of those OS's you don't have everything needed

I also have this problem. Can you solve it again ?
