    Windows Sandbox


    I attempted to add the Windows Sandbox feature by going to Control Panel > Programs and Features > Turn Windows features on or off. I then scrolled down to Windows Sandbox and checked the box. I click ok and if shows a couple progress bars then askes to restart the computer which I did. During restart is says "Working on features and hangs at 94% for a while then restarts. During the restart, I get the message "We couldn't complete the features. Undoing changes" then I get the message "We couldn't complete the updates. Undoing changes". When the computer comes back up an I log in, there's no Sandbox.


    System information:

    HP 360 Z Studio

    i9-8590HK

    32 GB Ram

    Windows 10 version 20H2

    There are no related Event Viewer entries.

    I have tried three times over three days.

    I turn my computer off overnight.

    There are no Windows Updates needed.

    :)

    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,
