I have Windows 10 & just upgraded from Sandboxie Classic (I guess called vintage) to Sandboxie-Plus-x64-v1.16.9. I have 2 boxes: Default & “Allow Access”.

I want the “Allow Access” box to allow me to access a file on my desktop only, using either attach or drop & drag. I had this configured with Sandboxie Classic, but can’t figure how to do so with the new Sandboxie Plus…. Attaching a file to an email: Location Restriction

Facts: I am on Mint 22.3 using the latest Mint Update 7.1.4 and I use it from Desktop after boot. This has been going on forever on my machines. Yes — the auto refresh is selected in preferences.

W11P 25H2 Secure Boot not enabled & BitLocker turned off. ThinkPad T15 gen2 2021. I updated to 25H2 no problem with these settings. My WU are delayed on purpose by 2-3.5 weeks until MS fixes potential problems. I read having Secure Boot enabled is a danger because if it thinks it finds something it doesn’t like at startup. It will either BSOD the PC, make it go to a Automatic Repair Loop or turn on BitLocker even if BitLocker was not on before. And then of course I won’t have the 48… W11P 25H2 Secure Boot not enabled & BitLocker turned off. Questions?
