    Windows Sandbox refusing to launch


    I don't know why but i can't get windows sandbox working on both of my pc's. It just brings up "error while initializing windows sandbox". Both pcs meet the requirements for it (both run fully updated windows 10 enterprise ltsc 2021)

    can i get it working somehow?

    windows sandbox Not working

    Hi,



    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



    There is a possibility that the feature is corrupted or not set up properly. I would advise you to disable Windows Sandbox first and then enable it. 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.

    Regards,
