HOW TO FIX THE “WINDOWS SANDBOX FAILED TO INITIALIZE/START” ISSUE

By Daisy | Follow | Last Updated July 17, 2023

The Windows Sandbox tool acts as a temporary virtual desktop environment.
However, while trying to use this tool, you might bump into the “Windows Sandbox
failed to start” error. This post from MiniTool tells you how to fix it.

On This Page :
 * Fix 1: Re-Enable the Windows Sandbox Tool

 * Fix 3: Restart Hyper V and Other Programs
 * Fix 4: Try the Troubleshooter
 * Fix 5: Run SFC
 * Fix 6: Restore Windows to the Previous State

 * Final Words

Windows Sandbox is helpful, especially when you download an executable file or
an app from risky sources and install it in Sandbox. However, when you try to
start Windows Sandbox on Windows 11, you may meet the “Windows Sandbox failed to
initialize” issue or “Windows Sandbox failed to start” issue.

Tips:

Tip: It’s recommended to back up your important data in advance since the apps
you download may be malware which could hurt your computer and lead to the “data
loss” issue or even corrupt your Windows. To do that, you can try the
professional backup software – MiniTool ShaodwMaker.

Besides, the issue always comes with different error codes, such as:
