Sandboxie Support

I have my default sandbox limited to run only chrome, no other programs.
I got an error message out of the blue, saying that the bits service was not allowed to run
is this a problem, or should I just ignore?

So why is there a need for templates for AVs, if they all can see into the SBIE folder anyway?

thanks.
I saw that in the list of supported AVs you have:
BitDefender Anti Virus [Free Edition] [Win10/64]

that's interesting, because I thought BD free doesn't officially support win10. Has this changed, or have you received reports that BD free is now fully compatible with win10?

I see that Webroot SA is not listed under applications/security/privacy, and SBIE doesn't seem to detect its presence on my system.
Is there any special reason for omitting WSA?

Are there certain anti-virus programs that work particularly well with SBIE? Can any of them protect inside a sandbox? What about Windows Defender, can it protect inside a sandbox? Are there certain anti-virus programs that are NOT recommended to use with SBIE? I am asking specifically for: Windows ...

great, thanks, so I must have done it right.

thanks for detailed reply.
I opened security\privacy for default sandbox, and I see two dashes in the entry for MBAE, and I am not allowed to add or remove it.
I assume that means the MBAE template is already in effect as the default setting, and I am all set up?

is it not good to make a global change?

thanks. I now see that I was making this overly complicated, it is actually pretty simple. in my case, it would make the most sense to right-click libreoffice, open in sandbox, and then simply open the file, as you suggested. If the file happens to be in sandbox, I can save it to my PC beforehand. A...

Maybe the problem is my AV.
I am running Kaspersky.
I was able to open chrome in SBIE only by exiting Kaspersky, and then restarting it.
But now, with Kaspersky running, I see that I can't do very much with SBIE.

Libreoffice is installed on my hard drive, not in sandbox. Windows 10 I right-clicked libreoffice and opened it in the default sandbox, where the file is, but when I click on "open file", I see my regular file tree, not the sandbox. Libreoffice is not able to populate the folder, so there is nothing...

I installed Libre Office so I would be able to open Word docs in sandbox.
But the docx file type is associated by default with MS Word.
When I right-click the doc in SBIE, I don't get options to open the file with a different app.
How to do it?

Can I copy a file from my computer and paste it into a sandboxed folder?
This is what I am getting at: I have a certain file that I want to run in a sandbox. But I did not download it inside of sandboxie. What should I do?

thanks,
