Deleting content from box fail with multiple users accounts

Ouro17 commented 4 days ago

Describe what you noticed and did

Create 2 local accounts users in windows (User A and B)
Install sandboxie
On one user(A for example), use the defaultbox
log out user A and switch to the other user B
On B, use the default box
Try to delete the content of default box, it will fail
Switch back to user A
Delete content on user A default box, it will work

The ?? in front of the folders seems rather suspicious to me. Does any one else has the same issue?

How often did you encounter it so far?

Whenever the user that is not the first logging in the computer tries to delete contents from any boxes

Expected behavior

The content of the box should be deleted

Have you changed the "Sandbox File Root"?

It is "\??\%SystemDrive%\Sandbox\%USER%\%SANDBOX%" by default and thus creates a separate DefaultBox for each user.

In your report, both users seem to use the same sandbox, which does not make sense. The "Sandbox File Root" should therefore contain the variable %USER%.

I have the same problem with only one user. It happens since the update to 1.14.10, which was parallel with the Windows 11 Update 24H2 (26100). Sandboxie drop this error when trying to empty the sandbox from UI or when the content should be automatically deleted. First I though about access rights, but I can delete the sandbox folder from Explorer by hand without any problem and when I have done this, the automatically deletion works 2 or 3 times and then it happens again.

No, I didn't changed anything in the global configuration, only for the boxes and yes it is "??\%SystemDrive%\Sandbox\%USER%\%SANDBOX%" as you said.

It's true that in my report the users seems to be in the same sandbox, I don't know how it happened but I tried again and both sandboxies were different this time.

I had the same problem as @camheelio with one user too.

I tried to uninstall 1.14.10 and then installing 1.14.9, and the same problem happened in the very first try to delete it, even without changing users.

In another computer with Windows 10, I don't have the problem, but it was not a fresh installation, it was just updated to 1.14.10.

Can I attach anything that you consider relevant to the issue?

APMichael commented 2 days ago

I myself only use Windows 10 so far and the issue has never occurred there.

I guess it is caused by Windows 11, either by a recent update or by the feature upgrade 24H2. (https://www.wilderssecurity.com/threads/sandboxie-plus-1-14-10.455134/#post-3211299)

Maybe @DavidXanatos can reproduce it in his VM and find out what caused it?
