Microsoft Edge not working within Windows Sandbox.

Question

Hi!

Since I've started using microsoft's built in VM, called the "Windows Sandbox" I've been experiencing a pretty comical issue.
Let's say that you want to download something sketchy, you open a Sandbox instance to investigate, and poof:

I've tried every reddit, random blog post tutorial under the sun, and I can't make it work.
And no, launching it as an administrator doesn't fix the issue.

Is there any way to either fix this, or reinstall the whole sandbox?
Sincerely.

Hi @rzecz,

Do you actually have such a shortcut at that location? If you don't, you can create one based on the msedge.exe at C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft\Edge\Application\msedge.exe (the executable path may be different in your environment, and you can find it at edge://version in Microsoft Edge). Remember to rename it as Microsoft Edge.lnk.
