Windows Sandbox not working alongside other virtual software

Tweakfiend · 14 Dec 2019

Hi

I have had this problem for months since Sandbox was released , and have been meaning to sound out other users .

I use Bluestacks android simulator virtual software , and after Sandbox is installed there is 1) no access to the sandbox normal screen 2) Bluestacks needs resetting before re using .

Otherwise Sandbox works normally without Bluestacks present.

Likely this is the same with other overlapping virtual items such as Virtual Box, which I have not yet compared .

Any comments please ?

Newest version of Virtual Box (Version 6.0.14 r133895 (Qt5.6.2) doesn't work if sandbox is enabled. See this link:

Hi.
Windows Sandbox requires Hyper-V ...
If you want to use other virtualization software, like Oracle VirtualBox,or VMWare.. you have to turn HYPER-V off in Windows.. (and when you turn it off,then Windows Sandbox won't work,and vice versa..)
See Kari's tutorial post HERE.
