Release v1.17.7 / 5.72.7 Latest

This release focuses on stability and usability improvements. A new global option for ForceBoxDocs has been added under Program Control > Force Process Options, making it easier to configure forced document handling without editing the INI file manually.

The INI editor and completion system have received several improvements, including better context-aware suggestions, improved key resolution, more accurate matching, and better tooltip behavior. Rich text input has also been disabled in the "Edit INI Section" dialog to prevent formatting issues.

Several bugs have been fixed in this release. Most notably, a compatibility issue that could cause VMware guests running inside a sandbox to crash has been resolved. Problems affecting addon installation, encrypted sandbox imports, Data Protection sandboxes causing PowerShell to hang, folder enumeration and deletion, and black box import/export when SandMan is not running elevated have also been addressed. Additionally, improvements to short-name path handling and completion matching further enhance reliability and overall user experience.

Sandboxie Plus 1.17.8 / Sandboxie 5.72.8 is now available with a collection of compatibility improvements, stability fixes, and quality-of-life enhancements.

This release introduces a new configuration option, DisableCustomTitleOpt, which gives users finer control over Sandboxie’s window title marking behavior. In the past, Sandboxie intentionally avoided adding its sandbox indicators to certain applications that use heavily customized title bars, such as those built with Delphi VCL, Qt, or Electron, because doing so could trigger excessive Desktop Window Manager repaints and high CPU usage. With the new option, advanced users can selectively re-enable title markers for these applications when desired.

The bundled ImDisk driver has also been updated to version 3.0.2, bringing the latest improvements and fixes from the upstream project.

Several issues reported by the community have been addressed in this build. Logging has been refined to suppress entries related to expected non-user security identifiers, helping reduce unnecessary noise in the trace logs. A problem affecting the "Run as Administrator" functionality, which could result in SBIE2218 and SBIE2219 service errors, has been corrected. In addition, a compatibility issue that could cause Windows Explorer to crash inside an Application Compartment environment when Huorong Security software was installed has been resolved.
