The latter is common if you use a custom download folder instead of Windows' default one. For e. I usually save my downloads to my external drive, so these won't show up in Sandboxie's Quick Recover. Why would you want to run a program inside Sandboxie? The main benefit is that you can run questionable programs and files inside the sandbox to avoid any damage or issues.
It is even possible to run malicious programs inside the sandbox but it is usually better to use a virtual environment for that instead. For portable applications, just extract them to a folder inside the DefaultBox's drive folder and run them. To install a program inside Sandboxie's protected environment, open File Explorer and right click any program's installer.
Select the run sandboxed option and you should see the installer has a yellow border and hashes just like the browser. This indicates you're installing the program inside Sandboxie. You will need to run the installed program manually from the Defaultbox folder. I used Sandboxie for a long time until I switched to Kaspersky. Then I came to know they had some compatibility issues, so I ditched Sandboxie until recently when I bid adieu to Kaspersky.
Since you now have literally nothing to lose with Sandboxie, I figured I might as well go over the basics for users who haven't tried it out yet.
Complete the form to proceed with your download. So they are trying to make people outside the US give their name and address to the US government to download an open source international application?
Also, save the poor innocent oppressed people of Hong Kong! There were some weird things like the active window losing focus that started cropping up on my systems that had updated versions installed and were only fixed after doing a factory reset of the system drive.
I find Sandboxie generates a few errors after I open and close Chrome a few times. Either way, I found it necessary to delete sandbox content to clear the errors. The need to include the first line is an indication that the issue is connected with Sandboxie not completely shutting down when I close Chrome. I was a long time user of Sandboxie. When reports of incompatibility with Windows 10 came out since fixed , I researched replacement sandboxes. It works more reliably and is highly configurable.
Comodo is snappier as Sandboxie was sluggish in comparison and geriatric on one PC for reasons I could never figure out. I feel more secure with Comodo because I no longer have myriad error messages popping up in Chrome randomly.
Actually, I changed from Chrome to Comodo Dragon because the clean up after the browser closes works much better in Dragon than Chrome. Wikipedia likes to play favorites, sad to say. Politics is also obvious, sometimes at the expense of facts.

Windows Sandbox provides a lightweight desktop environment to safely run applications in isolation. Software installed inside the Windows Sandbox environment remains "sandboxed" and runs separately from the host machine.
A sandbox is temporary. When it's closed, all the software and files and the state are deleted. You get a brand-new instance of the sandbox every time you open the application.
Software and applications installed on the host aren't directly available in the sandbox. Our unique approach to DLP allows for quick deployment and on-demand scalability, while providing full data visibility and no-compromise protection.
Microsoft has released a new feature update - Application Guard - that opens suspicious looking attachments in a sandbox to prevent malicious activity. Over the years, hackers have used attachments in spam emails to hide malware, mostly in rigged ZIP, PDF, and perhaps most common of all, Microsoft Office documents. While most email platforms have mechanisms in place to block nefarious activity, every so often suspicious emails with questionable attachments make their way to users' inboxes.
Going forward, when users of Office open potentially unsafe attachments, they'll be opened in a sandbox, an action which should deter malicious attachments from executing and exploiting vulnerabilities. Microsoft formally rolled out the feature, Application Guard for Office, in public preview earlier this week. Eric Wayne, a senior Microsoft Apps Architect, shared the news on Monday describing it as a "a secure container that is isolated from the device through hardware-based virtualization.

No need to download a VHD! Select OK to install Windows Sandbox. You might be asked to restart the computer. All sandbox content will be discarded and permanently deleted Confirm that the host does not have any of the modifications that you made in Windows Sandbox. Some of the key enhancements we have made include: Dynamically generated Image At its core Windows Sandbox is a lightweight virtual machine, so it needs an operating system image to boot from.
Smart memory management Memory management is another area where we have integrated with the Windows Kernel. Graphics virtualization Hardware accelerated rendering is key to a smooth and responsive user experience, especially for graphics-intense or media-heavy use cases. Graphics components in the VM, which have been enlightened to support virtualization, coordinate across the VM boundary with the host to execute graphics workloads.
The host allocates and schedules graphics resources among apps in the VM alongside the apps running natively. Conceptually they behave as one pool of graphics clients. This process is illustrated below: This enables the Windows Sandbox VM to benefit from hardware accelerated rendering, with Windows dynamically allocating graphics resources where they are needed across the host and guest. Filing bugs and suggestions As with any new technology, there may be bugs.
