Download Sandboxie 5.08

Version 5.08 of Sandboxie has been released, the second stable release of the 5.x series. With this program it is possible to run programs under Windows in a protected environment. That way, changes made by programs like Internet Explorer are easy to undo. In addition, there is no risk that important parts of the operating system will be affected. Sandboxie can be used on Windows XP and above, and a license costs 25 euros for a year or just over 40 euros for a lifetime license. In version 5, support for Windows 10 has been added, among other things. The following improvements have also been made in this update:

Version 5.06

• Improvements to application startup. Applications start faster and Windows 10 race conditions have been fixed.

• Office 2013 in Windows 10 is working under Sandboxie again.
• F12 Developer Tools now works in IE-11.
• In rare instances, SandboxieRpcSs.exe or SandboxieDcomLaunch.exe would not end when all other applications had exited.
• A file named c:\program.exe no longer prevents SandboxieRpcSs.exe from starting.
• The known conflicts list in templates.ini has been updated.
• Fixed wrong Windows version # reported for Windows 8.1 (eg with http://whatsmyuseragent.com/). Windows 8.1 was reported as Windows 8.0.
