My upgraded version is kinda broken at the moment. I'm a long-time Sandboxie user from before it was open source. I even bought a lifetime license to support it, as it's key to keeping my system running smooth. Very happy to see that Sandboxie Plus is continuing on! Up until now, I was using Sandboxie on Windows 7 and everything ran smooth as silk. Then, I upgraded to Windows 10 and things decided to stop working. So I uninstalled the old version, and upgraded to Sandboxie Plus. I love the new interface, but I'm getting several error notices now. The first is that it tells me it can't delete the sandbox. I have this set to clear automatically, to keep things clean. Most times, it gives me an error. Then later, it works. It's very sporadic. All the sandbox settings are default, except for ticking the boxes to force browsers to load sandboxed. The second is a 13836/SBIE2101 code any time I load the Edge browser. Says the object name not found. Any thoughts?
I would try a full uninstall (keeping a copy of sandboxie.ini), then copy sandboxie.ini back to Windows folder before reinstalling SB-Plus.
Thanks for the follow up. I did a complete uninstall of Sandboxie before I did a fresh install of Sandboxie Plus. Are you saying that I should install the previous version first, then upgrade?
I wasn't, but anything is worth a try! Did you use a "deep clean" uninstaller or just the usual Microsoft one? Wondering if anything got left behind. Also, have you tried deleting sandboxie.ini & sandboxie-plus.ini, and letting Sandboxie recreate its default sandbox?
There are some known issues at the moment eg. https://www.wilderssecurity.com/threads/sandboxie-plus-0-7.436454/page-10#post-3004184 David (the sbie dev) is looking into them.
Hi, Just wondering does Sandboxie protect the MBR= Master Boot Records? And how does leakage compare to Comodo Firewall, Shadow Defender, Shade Sandbox, ect? Just trying to better understand different software..... Kind regards,
> Just wondering does Sandboxie protect the MBR= Master Boot Records? yes > And how does leakage compare to Comodo Firewall Comodo sandbox does not filter RPC calls in the kernel so breaking out is quite easy > Shadow Defender works differently its like a revert to snapshot/backup on every reboot sort of system > Shade Sandbox I run an msi installer inside that sandbox and it got installed to the real system, so its... useless!
Are you sure? Afaik Sbie is not a system-wide protection vs Shadow Defender which it is, it does protect MBR. Really? I just lol'ed
For sure. In fact I asked Ronen to include a message when a sandboxed application tries to modify the MBR so I could use this indicator in my Buster Sandbox Analyzer. This is the message: SBIE1313 Message: SBIE1313 Blocked direct disk access by process program.exe Logged To: Popup Message Log. Explanation: This message indicates that a program requested direct access to a hard disk device and Sandboxie denied this access. Note that the default behavior of Sandboxie is to deny all direct access requests without issuing this message. The message is issued only when the NotifyDirectDiskAccess setting is enabled. Please see NotifyDirectDiskAccess for more information.
