Answer 2

I'm checking https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/topic/august-27-2024-kb5041865-os-build-26100-1591-preview-5d299921-2b27-4fe0-b414-c2336371b552

this is update for windows insider or stable channel?

main problem is that enabling on the windows running on laptop (not hyper-v) is not work

currenty my workaround is running sandboxing inside windows running on hyper-v thats work with nested environment

Answer 3

No, I guess he is talking about setting up a Windows 11 Insider virtual machine on Hyper-V and wanting to run the Sandbox within that virtual machine. But let's hear what he will say.

Answer 4

Hello, Lewi Kristianto

Since you're using a Hyper-V virtual machine, your question has been moved to the Hyper-V-related section. When using a virtual machine on Windows, there's typically no need to enable a sandbox environment within the virtual machine itself, as the virtual machine already provides a relatively isolated environment. Virtual machines run independently of the host operating system, allowing you to experiment, test, or use potentially unsafe software without impacting the main system. While technically possible to enable a sandbox within a virtual machine, it could lead to compatibility issues, particularly concerning resource management and performance. Both sandboxes and virtual machines are designed for isolation, but they operate differently, which may cause resource conflicts or unforeseen problems.

Hi Yuhao.L - MSFT

His question is about Sandbox not Hyper-V, trying to find out how he has his system setup, and he is using a pre-release of Windows, that why its was in Insider forum.

Hi BryceSor,

Single boot, I'm running windows 11 pro on hyper-v also to running windows sandboxing

yes it support,

Sorry I'm not understanding, "Single boot, I'm running windows 11 pro on hyper-v also to running windows sandboxing" so where does - "installation for ubuntu also working fine" fit in?

I'm running windows 11 pro on hyper-v also to running windows sandboxing

Do you mean W11 Pro is using Hyper_V for another install of Windows do you only have Hyper_V enabled to use.

I run both here at the same time, so have Hyper-V running Insider install and my public install of W11 is running Sandbox, If I want my Hyper-V Insider to run Sandbox then I use nested for that install, which is done through PowerShell, my settings are the following.

When you enable those settings and reboot is that when those errors are coming up?
