About Sandboxie-Plus

Sandboxie is a sandbox-based isolation software for 32- and 64-bit Windows NT-based operating systems.
It is developed by David Xanatos since it became open source, before that it was developed by Sophos (which acquired it from Invincea, which acquired it earlier from the original author Ronen Tzur).
It creates a sandbox-like isolated operating environment in which applications can be run or installed without permanently modifying the local or mapped drive.
Such an isolated virtual environment allows controlled testing of untrusted programs and web surfing.

Release Notes
This release fixes a compatibility issue that caused Chromium-based browsers and many Electron applications to crash when launched in Application Compartment boxes. The cause was incorrect hook target detection. With this fixed, desktop applications built on Electron, including Claude Desktop and similar apps, should now run more reliably in these boxes.
It also fixes how Sandboxie handles File IDs queried through fsutil. These IDs are now inverted consistently with File IDs returned through other methods (#5612).
Sandboxie Plus 1.18.5 is primarily a maintenance and usability release, with the most visible improvements affecting INI editing and completion behavior while also tightening shell notification routing and addressing several smaller issues reported since the previous release.
For a full list of changes please review the change log.
You can support the project through donations, any help will be greatly appreciated.
If you have issues with an update installation, just uninstall the previous version keeping the sandboxie.ini and reinstall the new build.
