Sandboxie-Plus 1.0.22

I don't run Vivaldi. But you can try setting vivaldi.exe as Leader program. That should do more for you than adding Vivaldi to Lingering programs.

I suggest you don't try fixing anything about the # pound sign as there is nothing to fix. Regarding hovering links, I don't recall seeing the # in the bottom left of the screen when doing that.

I know you know this but for other users who might not know, if someone is not sure a program is running sandboxed, you can always look for the Red dots in the SBIE icon, or open Sandboxie control and see whats running or do a Is Window sandboxed? test.

That change didn't do anything, unfortunately. But I was able to solve it. It turns out that Vivaldi now needs extra run permissions; in this case:

Code:

ProcessGroup=<StartRunAccess>,vivaldi.exe,update_notifier.exe,cmd.exe,adguard.browserextensionhost.exe

Now, I have no idea why it Vivaldi needs cmd.exe to run. But it does. Without it I still have the same non-terminating issue. I did restore "drop admin rights" and did block cmd.exe using the WFP firewall rule, so I hope that helps. That can't be safge to have running though, can it?

 

I don't know why Vivaldi triggers cmd.exe but one thing I can tell you about this, is this. The cmd.exe you are allowing to run is the cmd.exe in your computer. So, unless you have a malicious or infected cmd.exe (already running in your computer) then you are OK. When you allow an exe to run in Restrictions, only exes that are installed in your computer will be allowed to run (Sandboxie does this for security). For example, if while navigating the internet, an exe using the name cmd.exe (an exe you allow to run in restrictions) is DL automatically, it will not run or install. So, you are OK allowing cmd.exe in Restrictions. And don't have to worry about doing it.

I don't use Chrome, Vivaldi or anything Chromium, except Edge. To avoid issues or headaches with Edge, I don't Start Run restrict or Internet restrict. I don't even use Drop rights. I hardly ever use Edge but that's how I set it up.

I have Classic so I am not familiar with Sandman. In the picture below, you can see what I see (same as you) when I hover links with the browser (Firefox). I don't remember (my memory is bad now) seeing in the past the # in the left corner.

iirc, the previous two iterations of Sandboxie has had issues with Vivaldi. 1.0.20 introduced a work around to resolve "a hooking issue." I've held on to 1.0.18 and will wait it out
till the Vilvaldi dilemma is completely fixed (without the need or hassle of a work around) since Vivaldi is my default browser before I revert to the newest Sandboxie release.

 

@stapp
As @Lagavulin16 mentioned, a "hooking issue" fix for vivaldi was introduced in v1.0.19(5.55.19).
If you edit sandboxie.ini and include UseVivaldiWorkaround=n in your vivaldi box, do you see the # indicator?

 

adding to #36

That's what I was thinking too. As far as I know my cmd.exe is clean, and I have no issue running/closing Vivaldi now. It's just odd that permission is required now, when it wasn't before. Thanks Bo!

 

Oh, that wasn't my problem. But I did solve that last night too. (It was driving me crazy) Make sure the "Keep Terminated" option in SBIE Plus' view menu is disabled. Also you can use the cleanup processes option on demand. This wasn't an issue with SBIE classic, but is wit the plus variant.

 

That'd odd, because enabling the "keep terminated" option works for me. Although it is the opposite of what I'd expect; when the option is highlighted it's off and when the option is not highlighted it's on.

 

There is an update!

This build brings a few fixes as well as a few small features, most notably support for the new windows 11 explorer context menu.
For now to get it enabled the setting needs to be manually toggled on windows 11, a later installer update will automate this for win 11.

ChangeLog
Added

• added auto update download and silent install option to sandman.exe #917
• trace monitor mode can now also save to file #1851
• trace log now shows ipc object type information
• added support for windows 11 context menus

Fixed

• fixed sandman crash issue #1846
• fixed issue with windows server 2022 build 20348
• fixed translation switching issues #1852

 

any plans to go version 5.56?
my folder for 5.55 is growing really fast with your builds ^^

 

Yes probably with the next build, just wanted to ensure that we wil have a really really very stable 1.0.x before moving to 1.1.x as this may break things since its changing one of the core virtualization mechanics

 

So for you the terminated processes do not get cleaned up?
Do you have by any change the keep terminated option on? someone reported earlier that this toggle buttons are not really distinguishable in dark mode.
In any case try only deleting the plus ini no clean install needed

 

Salutations/Greetings,

Here is what I am getting, after updating below: Also, I am using Microsoft Edge:

Do you want to allow msedge.exe (8329) to copy a 115.38 MB large file into sandbox: Default Box?
File name:C:\micha\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Edge\User Data\Default\ExtensionActivityEdge?

I click yes, and take a couple of minutes.

Thoughts/Opinions/Suggestions ?
