Wondered if any one can suggest a work around.
When I click SandBox all I get is a splash screen with small blue window with a white boxed shaped logo in it's centre and it just sits on my desk top no matter how long you leave it and nothing else happens. according to youtube I should get a CMD flash up then a sandbox explorer window! it's like the main program exe is missing as when viewing task manager processes i can see "Windows Sandbox" process and all the resources it's using but when I click to expand it all that is there is a small white little icon that looks like a bat file kind of style or tv looking icon and resources are blank so not even sure the program is running at all just it's splash screen!

I have visualisation enabled in bios and it shows up as enabled in other windows.
I have uninstalled and reinstalled Sandbox which did not help
I have started up all HyperV services that will start and those that won't start set to auto.
I have made sure Virtual Disk is running in services in case that is connected but has mad no difference.

Just once I would love a function that I needed to work in windows 10 to run with out spending countless hours chasing workarounds this is the worst OS ever it's not fit to run a phone let alone a desktop as I have come across so many issues just wish I could get use to Linux I would be gone in a flash. sorry for the moaning getting tired of trying to fix this crappy software. all this is is proof that when something works like W7 then don't try and fix it!.
my system is as follows,

Windows 10 ver 1909 OS build 18363.836
B450 GAMING PRO CARBON AC
Ryzen 5 3600
36GB Ram
SSD drive used to house OS
Running a windows 10 on a Local account
Eset internet security

Many thanks for any assistance or light anyone can shed on this issue which many seem to have!.
Regards.
Daz

Hyper-V Requirements: A hypervisor has been detected. Features required for Hyper-V will not be displayed.

As you can see Hyper-V was detected but not much info or any YES acknowledgements! and I always run it as admin.
thanks again for your input much appreciated.
Also just checked Hyper V in event viewer and couldn't find any thing list about Hyper V in there? so maybe I have a problem and it's not running correctly.

It's Ok now I made sure everything with Hyper V in the title was checked and after a few days it started working! not sure what the culprit was but I obviously left one more of them off. all works fine now. many thanks for the help much appreciated. :)
