I figured out the reason causing error 0x800F0825, at least in my case.

If you have Windows Sandbox enabled, that is the reason. You have to disable it in the "Turn Windows Features on and off" menu, reboot, then you'll be able to uninstall KB5063878.

You'll even be able to uninstall with the regular GUI "Uninstall" option in the Windows Update settings menu, no need for a special command. You'll probably want to pause updates in the update settings before restarting after uninstalling it though.

Basically in the CBS.log file it revealed the problem:
Code: 
2025-08-23 13:09:12, Error   CBS    Container base layer depends on LCU version greater than '10.0.26100.4946'.: 800f0825 [Error,Facility=(000f),Code=2085 (0x0825)]
2025-08-23 13:09:12, Info   CBS    Failed verifying that the target package: Package_for_RollupFix~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~26100.4946.1.26 doesn't have a container layer dependency [HRESULT = 0x800f0825 - CBS_E_CANNOT_REMOVE]

The "Container base layer" it's talking about has to do with the Windows Sandbox. Disabling the feature removes that dependency allowing the uninstall to proceed.

You can turn the feature back on after uninstalling the update.

Dude you are an angel!
This was exactly my problem!
I disable the sandbox, restarted the PC and after that no more error to uninstall the KB5063878.
Thank you so much! 🫂

I use two Samsung T9 4TB Portable SSD drives for my daily image backups. Currently my backup image size is 218GB. I alternate with the T9 drives. Each drive stores 15 images. Between the two drives I'm storing image backups for the past 30 days.


As my signature says, I'm a firm believer in the 3-2-1 Backup Strategy. 3 copies of my data on 2 different media types 1 of which must always be offsite.

IMO, for what it's worth, you've a solid, bulletproof plan, Gary.....

Very carefully construed strategy.....and in today's realm, one can never be careful enough.

Thanks for sharing that!

Thank you, Joe......

I didn't have an issue with uninstalling the KB in question.... however, out of curiosity and wanting to
learn something, we pursued your direction regarding the Optional Features to see what we had.

Well, we found the 'Windows Sandbox' option, but it may appear it's not been added(?).....
Though unchecked, the 'Windows Sandbox' feature is greyed out..... (see attach'mt)

Again, thanks!
Tim
