I run msedge with sandbox on my computer, it always black screen or white screen. run without sandbox is ok.

I have config Sandboxie.ini with
PreferExternalManifest=msedge.exe,y
Template=Edge_Fix

and try many sandboxie version, include plus or classic , and the latest version v1.15.7 / 5.70.7. but result is same..

my windows version is Windows 11 Pro 21H2 22000.2538

msedge version is 133.0.3065.92



The only good news is that I searched for other computers and it's ok.

How should I troubleshoot this issue on my computer, I dont want to replace the computer?
 
I installed Windows 11 21H2 on a virtual machine with vmware. Initially, the issue 100% reproducible.

To match my computer version,I check the Windows 11 release history, and noticed the following entry:
Release Preview Channel | 2023-10 B | 2023-10-10 | Build 22000.2538 | KB5031358

Then, I installed the system update (KB5031358). After applying this patch, the issue also 100% reproducible.

Unfortunately, whether configuring **ExternalManifestHack=msedge.exe,y, PreferExternalManifest=msedge.exe,y, or even both settings together, the result remains the same: msedge exhibits a white screen**
 
Are you experiencing the same issue with other Chromium-based browsers as well? (e.g, Chrome, Brave etc.)

Also try with this setting.

INI:
NoAddProcessToJob=y

I tried with different settings, but MS Edge does not open properly on the standard box when KB5014019 or later updates are installed on Windows 11 21H2. I opened an issue about this on Github.
