  1. Windows 11 Sandbox cannot open WSB file


    Hi,I used to use a windows sandbox on the windows 10 with my custom configuration files WSB files. Some time ago I upgraded my Windows 10 Pro to Windows 11. Now I found, that I cannot run any of my sandbox configuration files at all.Despite of that the WSB files are visible in the Explorer as a sandbox files and I can select the "Open with" -> "Windows Sandbox" in the context menu, instead of the Sandbox application I see the message that "The app you're trying to install isn't a Microsoft-verified app" and suggest me to "Get app from Store".Just for the information. I can open the Window

    :)

    Microsoft Windows 10 Sandbox

    Microsoft Windows 10 Sandbox "WSB" file.

    Where you can create a config file and use to open Sandbox.

    How do you create a code that can start and install "multi programs", when you start Microsoft Windows 10 Sandbox that way. And not just 1 program so you dont have to manuel open edge browser and find and install.

  3. Windows Sandbox LogonCommand

    Hello Skyler Mews,

    Thank you for using our Microsoft community.

    Based on your description, I understand that your current problem is that when you run Windows Sandbox by configuring the ".wsb" file using the "login command" command, Powershell and Command Prompt refuse to run, right?

    I found an article detailing information about Windows Sandbox configuration that you can refer to.

    Here is a link to the forum where you can raise specific scenarios and share your idea to help solve the problem.

    I won't be able to help you, but I'll leave that question open in case one of our amazing volunteers has ideas for you.

    Activate Windows Sandbox

    Hello,

    I'm trying to use VM to run a game and apparently I need to enable the GPU in the VM, and to do that I need to use Windows Sandbox (WSB) in the VM, but I can't get WSB enabled, the checkbox is grayed out, and when I put the cursor on it, this message appears:

    "Windows Sandbox cannot be installed: The processor does not have the required virtualization capabilities."

    - I have a home edition of Windows 10, which runs an Enterprise edition of Windows 11 in Virtual Box.
    - My processor is an intel
    - Hyper-V is enabled on W11
    - I ran the "\VBoxManage modifyvm VMNAME --nested-hw-virt on" command on my real machine, which does not show any errors
    - In VirtualBox, the VT-x option in the System->Processor menu is checked

    If someone has an idea, I'm interested, thanks.
