Whenever I try to launch Windows sandbox, it shows an error 0x80070424, the specified service does not exist as an installed service. I tried running sfc scan, restarting services, re-enabling features, restarting PC, nothing helped. I tried looking this error up on web, but I couldn't find anything related to it, I only found discussions about windows update error 0x80070424. I can't seem to find any solutions for this. Does anyone know a solution for this error?

You're right, error 0x80070424 typically relates to Windows Update errors, but it can also affect Windows Sandbox.
Consider creating a new user profile on your PC and try launching Windows Sandbox from there. This can help isolate if the issue is specific to your current user profile.
