Hi, great report/contribution thank you. You help many others that could not solve this in #115, #152.
Could you also test if this one (under same category) breaks it too:
Disable "Windows Defender Firewall Authorization Driver" service (breaks Microsoft Store, `netsh advfirewall`, `winget`)
Something like this:
- Run the script
- Restart the computer.
- Verify that it broke or not.
- Revert changes.
- Restart the computer.
Your feedback will be valuable and I will update the docs right away. The other script usually breaks the same stuff as the one you figured out.
I cannot test this as I do not have physical windows machine for the moment and I lose connection to my Windows VMs when I disable these.
This may resolve #115 where @CaptainFrosty also mentioned that he disabled some of defender stuff and mentioned that these can be the root cause in #152.

Hello August Strindberg! π
Thank you for your work and especially for your great availability in the « Issues ».
I made an AOMEIβs Backup just before applying the script which allows me to easily revert back for testing purposes.
Below is your request to help you update the documentation.
Β
Case A) (driver)
1) Fresh installation without any trace of the script "https://privacy.sexy/"
2) Run the batch with ONLY:
β Privacy over security
β β Disable Microsoft Defender
β β β Disable Microsoft Defender firewall
β β β β Disable Microsoft Defender Firewall services and drivers
β β β β β Disable "Windows Defender Firewall Authorization Driver" service (breaks Microsoft Store, netsh advfirewall, winget)
_(( Note: "$serviceQuery = 'mpsdrv'; ))
(( "%SYSTEMROOT%\System32\drivers\mpsdrv.sys" ))_
3) Restart the computer.
4) Windows Sandbox is eternally stuck on the big blue icon of its splash screen.
5) Apply the batch from step 2 in "revert" mode.
6) Restart the computer.
7) Windows Sandbox is repaired and works (although a bit slow to start for my taste).

I AOMEI restore to reset the machine to its state before applying any script « https ://privacy. Sexy/».

Case B) (service)
1) Fresh installation without any trace of the script "https://privacy.sexy/"
2) Run the batch with ONLY:
β Privacy over security
β β Disable Microsoft Defender
β β β Disable Microsoft Defender firewall
β β β β Disable Microsoft Defender Firewall services and drivers
β β β β β Disable "Windows Defender Firewall" service (breaks Microsoft Store, netsh advfirewall, winget)
_(( Note: "$serviceQuery = 'MpsSvc'; ))
(( "%WINDIR%\System32\mpssvc.dll" ))_
3) Restart the computer.
4) Windows Sandbox is eternally stuck on the big blue icon of its splash screen.
5) Apply the batch from step 2 in "revert" mode.
6) Restart the computer.
7) Windows Sandbox is repaired and works (although a bit slow to start for my taste).
Conclusion:
Whether we remove only the Drivers or the service, in both cases it breaks Windows Sandbox. Obviously, if we apply both at the same time, it's not any better.
I want to specify that in both cases, the script in « revert » mode repairs Windows Sandbox but ONLY AFTER restarting Windows.
So, by analogy and based on tests in reality: if we apply both scripts that break Windows Sandbox and then apply both scripts in « revert » mode, we repair Windows Sandbox again.
I'm talking about Windows LTSC 2021 and on clean installations of Windows.
I hope this helps.

Hi @Snowball-V,
Thank you so much. It helps a lot. This was the information missing to take action on three issues and I'm sure your findings will be valuable for so many.
In new patch I will add:
- Explicit documentation in script title that these break Windows Sandbox, Docker and WSL.
- Documentation in caution section with reference to this issue explaining the breaking behavior further.
- Suggest system reboot after running the script (in script docs and terminal output)
Removing these FW scripts would make my life as maintainer easier as they break a lot of stuff. But I think privacy.sexy should consider its public as "consenting adults" (as Python folks would say) and give them a choice with documented implications of their actions. We cannot document this without community report as you did, community testing is only way to create a collective documentation. However, it's too easy to break things now. There will be features such as adding colors for breaking stuff #342, showing warnings for double checking #330 etc. to make it harder to break stuff.
Thank you again and have a nice summer, reading books have become a legacy thing of past but RΓΆda rummet is worth it π.

0.13.4 is just released π. It improves the documentation:
- Expand the caution notes to explicitly mention the impact on virtualization and isolation features like Windows Sandbox, Docker and WSL.
- Expand script titles to briefly mention affects on these features.
- Expand documentation to suggest system restart.
- Add an informative message to restart the computer in terminal outputs after service changes to ensure the settings are applied.
Thank you @Snowball-V.
Please create new issues for further ideas/problems.
