Hello, I recently enabled windows sandbox in the features menu and restarted multiple times. This is the error message I get when running it.

I made sure that:

  • I did enable virtualization in BIOS
  • Hyper-V is fully enabled
  • Sandbox is also enabled and installed
  • Virtual machines run in Hyper V (Provided screenshot)

Any help is appreciated.
