Release Notes
Sandboxie-Plus version 1.17.6 / 5.72.6 introduces a number of usability improvements, compatibility fixes, and refinements to box portability and management. The main application window will now clearly indicate when Sandboxie-Plus is running with elevated privileges by appending “(Administrator)” to the window title, helping users more easily distinguish between elevated and non-elevated sessions.
This release further improves the sandbox import and export workflow. The archive format has been revised to store sandbox configurations directly as BoxName.ini files using a [BoxName] section header, replacing the previous BoxName/BoxConfig.ini layout. The new format remains fully backward compatible, with imports supporting both the legacy and updated structures. In addition, the updated format is now fully aligned with the portable sandbox layout, allowing users to simply unpack an exported archive and immediately add the contained sandboxes as portable boxes without any additional conversion steps.
Several issues have also been addressed in this build. A problem affecting hook registration has been fixed, improving overall reliability and compatibility. Another important fix resolves excessive CPU usage caused by Desktop Window Manager (DWM) when running applications that use custom title bars, such as applications built with Delphi VCL, significantly reducing unnecessary system load in affected scenarios.
