Hello,
I have just cloned my C: drive (Win 11 23H2/22631.3007) using Acronis for WD and now on the cloned drive I can't get Windows Sandbox to initialize. At first it gave me a wierd error and research indicated if I deleted the VHDX files in the container folder the system would recreate the virtual drive. I did that but now it refuses to initialize. I have tried everything I can find to fix this including unchecking/restarting, and checking/restarting anything virtual in the programs & features. I've compared the files structure on the old drive and the new drive and they are identical.
Anyone have a fix I haven't already tried for this?
