Windows 10: Windows Sandbox

So I use windows 11 Pro 22H2 and Wonder if there is a way to edit windows sandbox starting settings. There used to be a file you could make but I don't know how to use it. Just setting the registry defaults would be fine so I could change it to work good. It's always nice to test files with it.

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.
