Windows 10 Sandbox - can I update base image
Hi - I have and use the Windows 10 Sandbox feature a lot - is there a way to permanently update the base image? For example, to install Edge Chromium or other tools? Thanks!
When i updated to win 10 20h2 i thought the sandbox was supposed to update the image as well.
Do we need to remove sandbox and reinstall in order to update the image to the lates release of windows?
Rdevries905 Reza_Ameri-Archived Per discussion, Sandbox is stuck in Windows 10 2004. I installed a fresh 20H2 Windows Pro VM with virtualization extensions exposed for nested virtualization and turned on Windows Sandbox feature in that VM, and it still produces a Sandbox running 2004 and Edge Legacy. I tried removing and adding Sandbox from my 20H2 machine that was upgraded from 2004 and it does the same thing.
Make sure report this issue through the Feedback Hub app.
- I should have googled more - I did look, but I looked again, and it looks like the April 2021 Patch Tuesday Cumulative Update is going to fix this. https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/microsoft-365-blog/new-microsoft-edge-to-replace-microsoft-edge-legacy-with-april-s/bc-p/2116108/highlight/true#M1353
Although, noted, the Sandbox still stays on 2004, it just has Edgemium now.
