Hi everyone,

When I try to install Windows Sandbox, the PC asks to reboot. I agree, and it starts installing and then reboots. The install does not work. I get "We couldn't complete the changes" and it rolls back the install.

I have Hyper-V installed.

Can anyone help? I use the sandbox regularly.

Do you have Windows Home as per your listed specs?

Not a solution to your problem, but Sandboxie-Plus is free and works well. If interested, you can download it from;

Sandboxie-Plus | Open Source sandbox-based isolation software

sandboxie-plus.com sandboxie-plus.com
After installing, visit the following link for information on usage.
