    @mirko_ There is a toolbar button the controlls the behavioure of keeping dead processes in the list you probably clicked it,
    it should be off by default and than the terminated processes go away instantly

    if you need the recovery feature you can install the classical release that looks and feals like 5.33.2

    Just to summarise for people who are wondering what build of Sandboxie is what, here is a very quick write up.

    At the moment there are 3 builds of Sandboxie.

    1. The classical original signed 5.33.6 build which is now broken for any Chrome 86 based browser. There are workarounds but they involve changing properties 'targets' and adding 'arguments'. Chrome has stated they will not fix the incompatibility with this build.

    https://community.sophos.com/sandbo...ndboxie-5-33-6-release-and-open-source-update

    2. The latest fork version 5.43.6. written by @DavidXanatos . It looks and behaves the same as the original one. It is still waiting for a certificate which means you have to tell your anti-virus that it is okay. No workaround for this build are needed and it works with all browsers.

    https://github.com/sandboxie-plus/Sandboxie/releases/
    (scroll down page for the 5.43.6 build)

    3. SandboxiePlus 0.4.2 which adds new functionality like box snapshots, and better logging/tracing and provides a new Qt based UI to utilize that functionality. Looks and behaves a bit different to the classic versions above.

    (scroll down for the SbiePlus 0.4.2 version.)

    Haha I have noticed that, but well as long as they don't bundle any malware with it its hard to object as the GPL allows redistribution,
    although one may want to insist that they also link to the sources LOL.

    Many thanks for this & all your wonderful work. I noticed one thing. For some reason, when I rebooted today (Win10, version 2004), there were errors & Sandboxie didn't load. I found that HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\SbieDrv wasn't set to load. I used Autoruns64 to make sure it loaded.

    Yesterday I downloaded Sandboxie 5.43.6.
    Ik scanner the instalionfile with Defender and Hitman pro. Clean. After install Defender target the driver as malware and removed it. Why was the installation file clean? Is there any hope for a certficat in the near future?

    @DavidXanatos Is it just me, or did you forgot to change the version in the driver?
    Screens of driver props, sandboxie plus and legacy
    driver and plus say 5.43.5, legacy 5.43.6
    All with installed PLUS version. Just to make sure. Still on

    No probs with install, win 10 64 pro 2004 with still delayed updates, via policy, not available anymore in the options. Though one update smuggled itself in, some days ago, might have been already past time.

    If they would take their claim serious, why don't they offer the informed user to install anyway and make finaly a smart way to remove such a driver while boot repair, instead of the never working methods. I never saw the hour long repair ever working. Could be my PCs maybe only. Brings the question, is it really just precaution or more control and thumbscrews for users and the thirdparties. Old question who owns the PC.

    For expedience I only update the driver when something changed, since in the last release the changes were only to the user-mode components it retained its older version number.

    @ David

    Another user told me that the tray icon is now present when some software is started from the explorer context menu. But it does not show up when sandboxie is started from another program start /box program.exe

    Or you add an option for those who wants the tray icon or those who want not.

    Thanks for clarification, would it make sense to mention the driver version in changelog, to avoid confusion. Maybe I am too detailed sometimes. ;)

    Sorry, I hadn't read your message until just now. Opera worked flawlessly outside de sandbox, but the only way to make it work in the sandbox was to select no in AG's user space. I wish I could help more, but that's all I know.

    This is confirmed for Sandboxie plus as well, if I close the notification tray icon and start a sandboxed program from desktop, the monitoring icon is not started. Of course I can start it manual. As it is an important information, i would not want to miss it, but an option if you want to start or now would be nice.

    Also the new Explore Content works flawless.

    To support ongoing Sandboxie development I would like to make a donation to David Xanatos via PayPal. When I click the donation link on xanasoft.com I get a PayPal page saying -

    Donate to
    Kundenorientierte Softwarelösungen

    Since the link is on the Xanasoft.com page I assume the account is tied to David but would like confirmation before actually sending money.

    Or is there a better alternative for making a one-time donation?

    Oops, was wondering why I never got a reply for this post but now I see that I posted it in the wrong thread. So here is a "copy and paste":

    Yes, I am having trouble trying to figure out how to send a payment also. This "simple mind" needs a simple way to make a one-time payment via credit card in U.S. dollars.
    Thanks, Acadia

    That should work with the pay pal button, it offers you to choose if you wants to sue a CC and no account or an existing PP account.
