Hello MrRich4617,

Welcome to Lenovo Community

I understand that you are trying to run Windows Sandbox on your ThinkPad T460 (20FM) however it can't be installed.
Try reloading the BIOS default settings on the laptop, be sure to save.
Ensure that the machine is up to date, install all the latest from the support site.
Once done power off the laptop for a few minutes. Press the emergency reset hole located at the bottom panel, see page 6 of the user guide.
Turn it on, retry installing Windows Sandbox.
Let me know what happens.

Regards, 
Lorenzo_Lenovo
