Windows Sandbox coming to Windows Insiders in Windows 10 build 18305 Insider

FYI. After some experimentation this morning as expected I have been unable to install the sandbox feature in a VirtualBox VM. It complains that virtualisation is not enabled.

K, have you tried messing with the VM settings? This theoretically should work.. VM-in-a-VM-mode?

I'm running VirtualBox but yes I am running Hyper V Paravirtualisation but that is a limited feature meant to improve the accuracy of clocks.

Hi folks
VMWare fails if sandbox is enabled -- howedver unticking it again and then vmware works fine.

Seems at least with VMWare you can't run both a sandbox and a VM concurrently on the host.
@Superfly

in the vmware settings for a VM you can set the processor to enable virtualisation -- at least in VMware workstation --try setting those in your VM and having another test.

Cheers

Superfly , can we reboot in sandbox-mode ?
For testing software needing reboot.........

Unfortunately, this is listed in Known Issues for now:

"Windows Sandbox does not support installers which require reboot."
