Windows Sandbox not enble

Windows Sandbox not enble

Windows Sandbox not appear in the start menu. I tried to enable it from "Turn Windows features on or off" but the Windows Sandbox appears in grey there and when I roll over it the message "Virtualization support is disabled in firmware" pop up. Please help
on this issue.

before installing Windows sandbox check to see if virtualization is enable by right clicking over taskbar and going to task manager then click the performance tab go down to Logical Processors under that is Virtualization which should say enabled,

if not enabled virtualization in the bios refer to your computer guide for motherboard make and model,

If Virtualization is enabled in the bios then you have issue with Windows 10 services under Administrative Tools.

follow this below should get you going.

For Windows 10 1903 sandbox wont start errors all you do is just restart the following service under Administrative tools



Container Manager Services.



then reopen sandbox should start up like normal.

If it does not start up do the following below.



If you have Hyper-V installed and Virtual disk is turned on under Administrative tools you must restart all these services

1. Container Manager Services
2. HV Host
3. Virtual Disk
4. Hyper-V Virtual Machine Manager
5. Hyper-V Host Compute Service
6. Network Virtualization Service

Do this in the following order

1. Right click over (Network Virtualization Service) click restart and wait.
2. Right click over (Virtual Disk) click restart and wait.
3. Right click over (Hyper-V Virtual Machine Manager) click restart and wait
4. Right click over (Hyper-V Host Compute Service) click restart and wait
5. Right click over (Container Manager Services) click restart and wait

Check these services are still on

Application Guard Container Service (If installed)

Remote Procedure Call (RDC) (""This must be running as most of the others rely upon its function it should never be disabled"")



Once they are checked start sandbox and it should open up if it does restart your computer to ensure the services are still functional are a restart of computer this should also be done if sandbox does not start up once these services are restarted
and checked.

Microsoft sandbox stoped working

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.



Regards
