It seems that it was up to version K. 2012 that had sandbox. In version 2013 onwards it was removed, if I'm not mistaken.

Message from the C.E.O of K
-> Our updated Sandbox (ver. 3.0): “The Matrix for Malware”.
"".... How we reduced system requirements :
A major update in this third version of our Research Sandbox is the reduction of system requirements, making it more accessible to a broader range of users. As we all know, hardware keeps getting smaller and faster over time, while software keeps getting bulkier and slower. Our Sandbox is a rare exception. .... This new version of the Sandbox supports the main versions of Windows (11 is in the works), Android, and Linux, as well as static analysis of executable files for other OSs like macOS. Lots of plans are in motion; the entire Sandbox family continues to evolve….""

If i remember well Kaspersky dropped Safe Sandbox also because of issues related with the frequent Windows OS updates.
Avast offers Sandbox but K is far better than Avast as I know.
It is; better script detection, superior behavioral analysis, lower RAM usage, stable with no glitches.
Avast is the second most buggy AV after B.
it does not happen with the LTSC workflow from windows.
You don't even need a sandbox. Have you ever thought about what would happen if Kaspersky had a sandbox like Comodo's today? Wow, it would be unbeatable.
Comodo AV engine is very weak; it relies completely on containment; this is not the scenario with the powerful AV of K.
Kaspersky default settings is okay or I have to change something for better security? Is it slow down browsing speed?Kaspersky home paid products have Safe Money, a sandbox but only for supported browsers. In the past, I recall around 2011, K. product had a full sandbox environment (Safe Run), but was removed shortly after because it was a great consumption of resources.
In current K. home products, if You want to use K. virtualization Hypervisor, in W11 You have to disable settings in Core Isolation (apart of having HW virtualization settings also enabled in BIOS):

Yes it can slow down browsing; to avoid, you need to select do not scan encrypted connections, under network settings.
But you have to install its extension, otherwise you will almost lose all web protection.

It depends on the module You change... I would let WebAV / Safe Surfing in defaults, but modify other module's defaults settings to harden the prevention.
Could you please share which settings should I modify in K Standard?
Vivaldi is not supported isn't it?
No, it is not.
Only Chrome, Edge, Firefox, and Yandex.
Yes, Vivaldi is not supported. However, it can work if you rename the executable file from vivaldi.exe to chrome.exe. The problem is that every time you update, you will need to rename it back to chrome.exe.
Not to get off track from the Sandbox topic, but @anirbandutta01 what AV's browser protection does support Vivaldi? An example from Eset. Consider changing browsers to a supported version?
Yes you're absolutely right. Personally I'm using Firefox but I like Vivaldi. That's why I'm asking.
You're absolutely right, you're straying from the topic. I'll stop here...
