Let us take a closer look at the error Windows Sandbox No Hypervisor Found error. With the support of our server management support services, we will give you a complete overview of the error.

Error: Windows Sandbox No Hypervisor Found error

Windows Sandbox is a useful tool for testing untrusted programs and data in a safe virtual environment.

The installation of Windows Sandbox is rather simple. When we try to open the program, however, we will receive the “No Hypervisor was discovered code 0XC0351000” issue.

According to the problem notice, Windows Sandbox was unable to recognize Hypervisor. This can occur for a variety of reasons, including improperly set up virtual machine-related capabilities under Windows Features.

To troubleshoot this problem on the Windows PC, follow the methods in the article below.

1. Check and Enable Virtualization Technology in BIOS

To function, all virtualization-based tools require hardware virtualization to in the BIOS.

Check Task Manager to see if the hardware virtualization is set up if not done. If not, we may enable it in BIOS to support virtualization tools manually. This is the first step in Windows Sandbox No Hypervisor Found error management.

To verify the state of virtualization, do the following:

• Open Task Manager by right-clicking on the Start button.
• Open the Performance tab in Task Manager.
• Next, ensure that the CPU tab is chosen.
• Navigate to the Virtualization section. Skip to the next method if Enabled.
  Follow the instructions below to activate hardware virtualization on the machine if it is not active.

We’ll now go through how to activate Hardware Virtualization in BISO on an HP machine. The steps for enabling hardware virtualization may differ depending on the manufacturer of the machine.

1. 1. Turn off the computer.
   2. To access the Start menu, hit the Power button and then begin pressing the Esc key.
   3. To enter BIOS Setup, press F10.
   4. Use the right-left arrow keys to navigate to and open the Configuration tab in the BIOS Setup Utility.
   5. Then, using the down and up arrow keys, pick Virtualization Technology or something similar.

With the option underlined, hit Enter and choose Enabled from the menu.

• state of the Virtualization Technology will now be active.
• F10 once more to save the changes and exit BIOS.

Allow the computer to reboot. To view the Virtualization status under the CPU tab, use Task Manager. Whether it shows “Enabled,” try opening Windows Sandbox and seeing if it works without the error.

2. Enable Virtual Machine Platform Features

Windows Sandbox is an optional feature that we may enable via the Windows Features dialog. Similarly, we may need to activate a few extra optional capabilities in order to correctly execute the virtualization program.

Virtual Machine Platform and Windows Hypervisor Platform are the two optional features we must activate. These utilities provide virtual machine platform support and offer the API required to run virtualization software on Windows.

To activate virtualization features, do the following:

1. To open Settings, press Win + I.
2. To launch Control Panel, type appwiz.cpl and press OK.
3. Turn Windows features on or off in the left pane.
4. Scroll down in the Windows Features dialog to find Virtual Machine Platform and Windows Hypervisor Platform.
5. Click OK after selecting both choices.
6. Windows will begin to install the required files. So, just wait for the procedure to finish. After that, click Restart Now to restart the system and implement the changes.

3. Set Hypervisor to Run at System Startup

If the Hypervisor fails to launch on system startup, Windows Sandbox may not function properly. To resolve this issue, we can alter the Boot Configuration Data (BCD) file to automatically activate Hypervisor upon system startup.

To configure Hypervisor to launch upon system boot:

1. Enter cmd into the Win key. Right-click Command Prompt and choose Run as admin.
2. Enter the following command into the Command Prompt window:

   BCDEDIT /Set {current} hypervisorlaunchtype auto
3. Wait for the success notification before restarting the computer.
4. After restarting the computer, launch Command Prompt as administrator and type the following command:

   bcdedit
5. Scroll down to the Hypervisorlaunchtype entry and make sure the mode is Auto.
6. Launch Windows Sandbox to see whether the No Hypervisor Found problem has been addressed.

Please note consider that we chose the Hypervisor to launch at boot. Virtual machines running on third-party virtualization solutions such as VMWare may not function properly.

In the elevated Command Prompt, run the following command to disable Hypervisor upon startup:

bcdedit /set hypervisorlaunchtype off

After that, restart the computer to have the modifications take effect.

Get Set With the Sandbox Again

Sandbox is an amazing lightweight virtualization option for testing dangerous files and programs on the PC. It is only accessible on the Pro, Enterprise, and Education editions of Windows 10 and 11.

If this virtualization option is not accessible, consider Sandboxie-Plus, a Windows Sandbox alternative. It is free to use and compatible with all versions of Windows.
