Disable the group policy setting that was used to enable Credential Guard.
On the host operating system, click Start > Run, type gpedit.msc, and click Ok. The Local group Policy Editor opens.
Go to Local Computer Policy > Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > System > Device Guard > Turn on Virtualization Based Security.
Select Disabled.
Go to Control Panel > Uninstall a Program > Turn Windows features on or off to turn off Hyper-V.
Select Do not restart.
Delete the related EFI variables by launching a command prompt on the host machine using an Administrator account and run these commands:
mountvol X: /s
copy %WINDIR%\System32\SecConfig.efi X:\EFI\Microsoft\Boot\SecConfig.efi /Y
bcdedit /create {0cb3b571-2f2e-4343-a879-d86a476d7215} /d "DebugTool" /application osloader
bcdedit /set {0cb3b571-2f2e-4343-a879-d86a476d7215} path "\EFI\Microsoft\Boot\SecConfig.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
Note: Ensure X is an unused drive, else change to another drive.
Restart the host.
Accept the prompt on the boot screen to disable Device Guard or Credential Guard.
Actually, this is a conflict that can be simply resolved by temporarily disabling Hyper-V hypervisor:
bcdedit /set hypervisorlaunchtype off
Restart is required. Apparently, the side effect is that Hyper-V virtual machines cannot be started after this:

And so is Docker:

To get Hyper-V back, just turn its hypervisor back on:
bcdedit /set hypervisorlaunchtype auto
