Windows 10: Windows Sandbox disk space

Is there any way to run Windows Sandbox with more disk space than the preset 40 GB?Most of the time 40 GB is enough, but there are things I can't do because of limited space. In such situations I use VirtualBox, but its speed compared to Sandbox is pathetic. In addition, each time I have to copy a huge VB file to be able to use a fresh installation, where in the case of Sandbox this problem does not exist.CheersFrank

My disk space is gone

Hi John,

Thank you for posting the query on Microsoft Community.

I do appreciate your efforts and time.

Try to run theSystem Maintenance Troubleshooter.

  Press Windows key + W and type
  Troubleshooting.

  Select Troubleshooting.

  Select view all on the top left corner.

I suggest you to run Check Disk which performs an analysis of the disk. Refer to the steps below:

• Press Windows key + X.

windows sandbox Not working

Hi,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



There is a possibility that the feature is corrupted or not set up properly. I would advise you to disable Windows Sandbox first and then enable it. Please follow the steps mentioned below:

1. Open Control Panel.
   
2. Then click on all Control Panel Items.
   
3. Then click on Programs and features.
   
4. Then on the left hand side, click on Turn Windows features on or off.
   
5. Then uncheck the option: Windows Sandbox.
   
6. Then restart your computer.
   
7. After restart, please enable it and check if the sandbox is working.
   

Also make sure that you meet all the requirements for Windows Sandbox.

Regards,

Alright, I fixed this but sandbox still doesn't work is it because I have low disk space?
