  1. Unable to install Sandbox


    Hi everybody, I've been trying to enable Sandbox feature on Windows 10 Pro 1909 for a while but keep failing. For some reason "Turn Windows Feature on or off" is blank so I tried to install it using Command Promp. I used this code

    Dism /online /Enable-Feature /FeatureName:"Containers-DisposableClientVM" -All

    and the following message appeared:

    Error 0x800f0831 Feature name Containers-DisposableClientVM is unkown. A windows feature name was not recognized. Use the /Get-Features option to find the name of the feature in the image and try the command again. The DISM log file can be found at C:/Windows/logs/DISM/dism.log

    Do you have any idea about what should I do?

    Hi,

    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

    We understand your concern as you are unable to stop the Windows Sandbox process.

    1. Press Windows + R key, then type appwiz.cpl and click Ok.
    2. Click on Turn Windows features on or off from the left pane.
    3. Uncheck the box beside Windows Sandbox and click
      OK
      .
    4. Restart the PC and check.

    If the issue still persists then I would suggest you to post your query in

    Hi,



    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



    Please be informed that our developer team is aware of the issues with Sandbox and is working on resolving it. We do not have an ETA as of now, however I encourage you to send a feedback to our developer team via
    Feedback hub. As a suggestion you can try disabling and enabling
    the sandbox to check if that works. Please follow the steps mentioned below:



    1. Open Control Panel.
    2. Then click on all Control Panel Items.
    3. Then click on Programs and features.
    4. Then on the left hand side, click on Turn Windows features on or off.
    5. Then uncheck the option: Windows Sandbox.
    6. Then restart your computer.
    7. After restart, please enable it and check if the sandbox is working.


    Also make sure that you meet all the requirements for Windows Sandbox.
    Your patience and understanding will be appreciated in this matter.
