Sandboxie Plus 1.17.7 and Sandboxie Classic 5.72.7 are out, bringing a round of stability improvements and a handful of useful tweaks for power users who rely on the open-source sandboxing tool to isolate browsers and applications from the rest of their Windows system.
What's New in 1.17.7
New feature:
- A new global option for ForceBoxDocs has been added under Program Control > Force Process Options, making it easier to configure forced document handling without manually editing the INI file.
INI editor improvements:
- Better context-aware suggestions and key resolution
- More accurate matching and improved tooltip behaviour
- Rich text input disabled in the "Edit INI Section" dialog to prevent formatting issues
Bug fixes:
- Fixed a compatibility issue causing VMware guests running inside a sandbox to crash
- Fixed problems with addon installation
- Fixed encrypted sandbox imports
- Fixed Data Protection sandboxes causing PowerShell to hang
- Fixed folder enumeration and deletion issues
- Fixed black-box import/export when SandMan is not running elevated
- Improved short-name path handling
Sandboxie Plus is fully free and open-source. It remains one of the best tools for running untrusted software safely on Windows without needing a full virtual machine.
