How many times have you downloaded an executable file, but were afraid to run it?...

Seemingly people have an issue with Nvidia GPUs. Me too :(
When ran on the host with Nvidia GTX 980 (latest drivers, 430.39), Sandbox in 18362.86 fails with a 0x80070002 ("file not found") in the error dialog, although in the event log it manifests very differently:

Note different error code. This is only error in the event log, all other records corresponding to same session are successful, with 0x00000000.
Also, when ran inside a Hyper-V VM on the same PC (and same OS build), it runs just fine. No error, no nothing.
