I am considering purchasing Sandboxie for a new Windows 10 machine based on recommendations that I have read for older versions of Windows. Does anyone have any experience with Sandboxie on Windows 10? Would you still recommend it? Any problems encountered so far.

I am just considering general usage to avoid malware and such. My impression is that it also makes removing programs later cleaner. Is this correct?

Sandboxing the browser is a good idea, and a good use of SB. It only makes "clean" uninstalls better if you only install the program into a sandbox, which is often less reliable than sandboxing an already installed program.
Can you expand on why it is less reliable than sandboxing an already installed program?

Keep in mind if you do one of the Windows upgrades with sandboxie installed, you'll have to uninstall and then reinstall sandboxie. You'll get an error on every login otherwise. Don't know if it actually affects sandboxie itself though.


Do you mean just standard Windows updates require sandboxie to be uninstalled and then reinstalled? That sounds like a pain.
