Sandboxie-Plus v1.16.0 (Pre-Release)

This release introduces several important improvements to Sandboxie-Plus, further enhancing compatibility, usability, and control for advanced users. A new option has been added to copy the Hardware ID directly from the support page for convenience. More significantly, a powerful new feature allows administrators to automatically redirect all files marked with "Mark of the Web" into a specified sandbox using the MarkOfTheWebBox=BoxName setting. Wildcard support has also been introduced for forced process rules, and a new option now allows for the creation of virtual sandboxes that do not require persistence in the main configuration file.

The Trace Log page now properly adapts text scaling in the 'Type' dropdown, ensuring clarity on high-DPI displays. Several system object types, such as EventPair, KeyedEvent, and Timer, have received improved virtualization and filtering support. A new UAC handling option (UseSandboxieUAC=y) enables Sandboxie’s own prompt, which includes the ability to simulate administrator rights without actually elevating privileges.

Under the hood, the DNS Filter logic has been refactored to address issues where domains that did not resolve could bypass filtering—this resolves potential security leaks and improves consistency. Support for compiler security features like /GS and /CETCOMPAT has been expanded to more components, and INI configuration handling has been modernized to allow importing sandbox configurations from external files and support for virtual config sections within the driver.

Finally, a number of bugs have been resolved, including a persistent taskbar issue in Firefox when entering fullscreen mode, glitches in content deletion UI, unexpected Sandboxie Plus shutdowns, and context menu execution behavior on Windows 11. Display issues and inconsistencies in the Move Sandbox menu have also been addressed, offering a more stable and refined user experience overall.
