[SquareTriangle]

It is summary of bug, that I have encountered and I have found solution posted by Curt@invincea (here: http://forums.sandboxie.com/phpBB3/view ... 11&t=18414).

Problem
Some actions performer by windows explorer or related to windows os take long time.
AND You are logged using Microsoft account in your windows

For example:

• - Unexpected freezes.
  - Waiting 10 minutes for "Save" window in Notepad.
  - Firefox is installing for 1 hour.
  - Tabs in firefox won't open.

Solution
Add this in Sandboxie.ini for releated sandbox

Code: Select all

ClosedFilePath=C:\Windows\System32\IDStore.dll
ClosedFilePath=C:\Windows\System32\wlidprov.dll

Here is how to add it:

Summary
Problem is encountered when you are using microsoft account (Live ID).

I think alot of us may experience this problem in different cirumstanses so we may not be aware that it is the same error for all of us.

I suspect that when freeze occurs then it is not "frozen" but program is working very slowly.
Because in my case, after about 10 minutes, "save" window in notepad was opened or firefox was installed after about 1 hour.

PS
Sorry for bad grammar.
