    Hi noipe,

    Thanks for your post. Please open Windows PowerShell as administrator and run this command to enable the sandbox.

    Enable-WindowsOptionalFeature -FeatureName "Containers-DisposableClientVM" -All -Online

    If the error persists, run bcdedit.exe in PowerShell and make sure the hypervisorlaunchtype is set to Auto. If not, run

    bcdedit.exe /set hypervisorlaunchtype auto

    You can also open services.msc and manually restart the services Hyper-V Host Computer Service (vmcompute) and Hyper-V Virtual Machine Management (vmms).

    Best Regards,

    Ian Xue
