Windows 10: win 10 update 1903 Sandboxie

Win 10 ver 1903 will not upgrade/update due to incompatible software (Sandboxie) error window recommends to remove it manually. Did so with remove programs, nochange. Removed all references to Sandboxie in the registry, removed the folder in programs, no change. Still get message about incompatibility with recommendation to remove it, Nothing to remove now. Anyone have any suggestions?

Keyscrambler and Sandboxie

Hope it helps, it did me.

My default browser is Chrome, but I do use Firefox and IE.

I am sure that the Sandboxie configuration fix is exclusive to Keyscrambler and does not include any browser reference. It worked immediately with Sandboxied Chrome, Firefox and IE.

So it should work OK with any other browser that Sandboxie is compatible for use with.

It may be that this fix is only needed when Sandboxie is already installed and KS is added afterwards. If KS is already installed and Sandboxie is added afterwards, then the Sandboxie installation wizard should pick up KS as an inherent program and include it in the configuration list. If so, this fix would not be needed.

• For x86 systems --> If you encounter "SBIE2335 Initialization failed for process Start.exe [11 / 87]" after creating a new Sandbox/installing this beta, please allow 30 seconds to go by, then re-try the action. This is being investigated.

Sandboxie - Download Sandboxie
Sandboxie - All Versions

Note: If you are using W10, for better compatibility between Sandboxie and tomorrows Windows updates, do the update to 5.24 before updating Windows. During the weekend I had a PM conversation with the Sandboxie Lead developer who told me that "MS has been holding back (blocking) those Win 10 KB's that break Sandboxie on machines that have Sandboxie installed. They are going to remove those blocks on Tuesday's updates. So people using Win 10 that don't upgrade to 5.24 will BSOD when they install the MS updates."

Personally, I haven't had any issue in my W10 ever, no BSOD or noticed my W10 not being offered updates when they are expected. I am keeping track of all W10 updates and there's only one that I know of that I did not get as soon as it became available, it was one of the Servicing Stack released since July when I got the computer, but eventually got it automatically. Other than that, only January's update I had to download the package to install it, but that was because at the time, I did not have the now required Registry key. I dont use AV but enable Windows defender for a few hours after Windows updates to maintain it properly, on January 17th, I enabled WD and now I have the key.

But anyway, if you are using Sandboxie in W10, it behooves you to update the program to stable version 5.24, released today.

Win 10 1803 to 1903 update

My Desktop computer running Win 10 updated from version 1803 to 1903 a while back, but my Desktop running Win 10 version 1803

I'm assuming the update 1803 to 1903 has now resumed after the earlier problems caused a suspension?

Any thoughts, suggestions?
