VMWare Workstation cannot run on Windows 10 after recent update to Windows 10

Ok, thanks to the answer from communities of VMWare: https://communities.vmware.com/thread/588526

The issue is now gone, by applying the following change:

  1. Disable credential guard by using readiness tool from Microsoft: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=53337, with this command: DG_Readiness_Tool_v3.2.ps1 -disable

  2. Disable Hyper-V by using PowerShell command: Disable-WindowsOptionalFeature -Online -FeatureName Microsoft-Hyper-V

  3. Reboot and accept to boot without CG/DG.

Although I don't like that VMWare cannot work together with device guard from system, I get my VM working for the moment.


1- run cmd as admin

2- run : bcdedit /set hypervisorlaunchtype off

3- reboot

let me knew if it works please

good luck
