Problem: When upgrading to Windows 10 Insider - Fast Ring- 17755.1 or higher - Including Release Windows 10 1809 Oct Update -, you may be presented with a message stating Sandboxie needs to be deleted if old versions of Sandboxie (prior to 5.27.1) are present.
Solution: Delete the old Sandboxie versions and its installers before proceeding with the upgrade, then reinstall Sandboxie normally.
Problem: Some applications (such as Chrome, MSI Installers/ other apps that invoke services) may no install inside Sandboxie + Windows 10 .
Solution: Install the application on your host and then run it sandboxed.
Problem: 32 char Sandbox names return SBIE2327 Error in COM server: [81 / 0] / SBIE2327 Error in COM server: [31 / 0] / SBIE2308 Could not create object directory: [22 / C0000004] .
Solution: Remove 1 character from your Sandbox's name (31 characters should work as expected).
Problem: Edge browser or metro apps will not work in sandboxie v5+.
Solution: None at this time. Otherwise, Windows 10 and Sandboxie v5+ is compatible with each other. Older versions of Sandboxie are not compatible at all with Windows 10.
Solution:If you fail to change your Windows 10 default web browser (Edge) and you click on "run browser sandboxed" Sandboxie will automatically load IE 11 (which is included in Windows 10.) (You must use SBIE Version 5+ with Windows 10, any version before v5 will NOT work with Windows 10.)

Problem: MS Office 2013, 2016 and Office 365 will crash when sandboxed. This includes Outlook 2013 and up. (Click to run Versions only)
__Solution: Office is supported in Beta version 5.11.4 of Sandboxie. It is a Paid feature, so you must be using a registered and paid copy for it to work in SBIE. Click here for more information... http://forums.sandboxie.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=22645
Solution #2. Use a non-Click-To-Run version of Office (2013 and older) or Google Docs, Libre Office, OpenOffice, MS Office 2010 or older. All support MS document formats.
Problem: Firefox may not load, or load after a significant delay when sandboxed with Norton installed
Solution: In Norton, under Administrative Settings, disable both options under "Firefox Cleanup"
Problem: Users may get CONATST.EXE Error w/ SBIE 2235 error "Failed process" Solution: This is part of the Norton Suite, most likely the Identity section. This would have to be disabled in the program and in all web browser addons. However, this may not fully solve the errors. Thus, Norton would have to be removed.
Conclusion: Should the above tip not work, Norton should be removed so that Sandboxie may function correctly as your primary online protection.

Problem: "Service not implemented" error when running Sandboxie and / or Sandboxie will crash with KS 2015/16/17 installed (Win 10, 8 & 8.1)
Solution: For Windows 7, you must add Sandboxie Folder to Kaspersky's 'Threats and Exclusions' section for KIS 2015/2016 in Windows 7.
For Windows 8/8.1 & Win 10 -KS 2015 and 2016/2017 is not compatible with Sandboxie. Kaspersky must NOT be installed, otherwise Sandboxie will not work.
IT'S BEST TO NOT HAVE ANY KASPERSKY PRODUCTS INSTALLED. DISABLING WILL NOT WORK. We've instructed KIS what they need to change in their code, at this time, they have not. Thus, their code disrupts Sandboxie.

Problem: Games from GOG Galaxy may not run while sandboxed.
Solution: Current version of GOG Galaxy *does* work (Non Beta). You have to "force" GOG Program folder so that it works correctly within a SB. Thus, you will need a paid version of SBIE. Better solution, install GOG / GOG games on your host computer. Refer to this post as well http://forums.sandboxie.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=23233&p=122627&hilit=gog#p122627

Problem: Not all Steam games will function while Sandboxed.
Solution: Install the Games on your computer, not in a sandbox. Most games can work. However, there are reports that some simply may not. If you run into a problem with a Steam Game, you should make sure Steam client is update on your host machine. Run Steam not sandboxed, download and install the game on your host computer and then "right click" on the game shortcut and select "run as sandboxed" as a work around.
