Did Microsoft fix the issue that when Windows virtualization is enabled then VirtualBox VMs do not run [0]? Better they focus some of their resources to fix that first.

If not yet, then Windows Sandbox it is a less useful feature that it may seem, because we have to choose between Windows Virtualization and VirtualBox VM snapshots all the time.

This. I cannot use docker on my gaming rig to use it as dev machine sometimes because I need VirtualBox on it.


You can use docker-machine with VirtualBox. It is not smooth as the native Docker experience, but it is good enough.


Isn't it just a case of changing a registry value and rebooting?


If switching from games to dev work requires manually patching the system registry and rebooting, then something is horribly wrong.


Yes, it was fixed last week in VirtualBox 6.0, which now uses Hyper-V APIs at the cost of reduced performance.
