The sentence is broken. "This fixes is a maintenance..." should be "This is a ..."

This the only thing that happens in Chrome "Ellen" is a client Running Windows 11 Pro.
This with Plus 1.9.4, I have tried 1.9.5, 1.9.6 and 1.9.7.

chrome.exe   7348                     Running (Chromium Based)   07:47:00   "C:\Program Files\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe" --type=crashpad-handler "--user-data-dir=C:\Users\Ellen\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data" /prefetch:7 --monitor-self-annotation=ptype=crashpad-handler "--database=C:\Users\Ellen\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Crashpad" --url=https://clients2.google.com/cr/report --annotation=channel= --annotation=plat=Win64 --annotation=prod=Chrome --annotation=ver=114.0.5735.134 --initial-client-data=0x164,0x168,0x16c,0x118,0x170,0x7ffb44a4d9e0,0x7ffb44a4d9f0,0x7ffb44a4da00

I have gone over several system and compared ini files and cannot find a difference, this is frustrating, it all started with the Microsoft update KB5027231 & Chrome update Version 114.0.5735.134 (Official Build) (64-bit).
What's frustrating is there are some Windows 11 computers like mine that are not affected.
Microsoft Edge has no problem running.

@BilleBarrett can it be that your users are affected by this issue: #3040 caused by the update KB5027231 ?

[DavidXanatos]

As it seams the issue is not caused by sandboxie, but by the MSFT update kb5027231 https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/microsoft/windows-11-kb5027231-also-breaks-chrome-for-cisco-watchguard-edr-users/ and it affects a lot of other security software

[BilleBarrett]

It seems that all you have to do is open windows Setting > Apps > Default Apps > Goode Chrome
then click on Set default and this resolves the issue
I also went done the list and wherever Edge was I open and switch to Chrome

Alternatively, see #3040 (comment)
In order to be applied for all sandboxes, it should be placed under [GlobalSettings] in Sandboxie.ini.
