VMWARE TIPS & TRICKS

 

How to fix “VMware Workstation and Device/Credential Guard are not compatible. VMware Workstation can be run after disabling Device/Credential Guard. ” error might be familiar with the VMware workstation users“

    • DISABLE / UNINSTALL HYPER-V ROLE

    • DISABLE DEVICE/CREDENTIAL GUARD IN LOCAL GROUP POLICY

I had to disable the Device/Credential Guard in my local group policy and I opened a “run” prompt by pressing Win Key + R and typed ” gpedit.msc ” to open the local group policy editor. Once it opened up the Local group policy editor, navigate to ” Local Computer Policy > Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > System > Device Guard ” and open the ” Turn on Virtualization Based Security ” setting by double click on it.

    • RUN COMMAND

Opened a Command Prompt elevating the “Administrative Privileges” and run the below piece of command

mountvol X: /s
copy %WINDIR%System32SecConfig.efi X:EFIMicrosoftBootSecConfig.efi /Y
bcdedit /create {0cb3b571-2f2e-4343-a879-d86a476d7215} /d “DebugTool” /application osloader
bcdedit /set {0cb3b571-2f2e-4343-a879-d86a476d7215} path “EFIMicrosoftBootSecConfig.efi”
bcdedit /set {bootmgr} bootsequence {0cb3b571-2f2e-4343-a879-d86a476d7215}
bcdedit /set {0cb3b571-2f2e-4343-a879-d86a476d7215} loadoptions DISABLE-LSA-ISO,DISABLE-VBS
bcdedit /set {0cb3b571-2f2e-4343-a879-d86a476d7215} device partition=X:
mountvol X: /d

 
    • RESTART COMPUTER

Rebooted the Computer and at the login screen it prompted to accept the change and pressed F3 and Operating system loaded without issues, after that my Virtual Machine started correctly.
