Windows 10 Sandbox is utterly useless

Hi Evin..

I am Vanshita, an Independent Windows Advisor. I am here to work with you on this problem.

There are a lot of reports on Sandbox not working in 1903 and is listed on the known issues page as well.

Please wait until the next cumulative update which should fix this hopefully.
