Hi,
I just got my Surface Book 3 and tried to run ubuntu using Vmware, I then got an error message about Credential guard, how can I fix this.

I bought surface book 3 , 32GB RAM , when i installed OVM(Oracle virtual machine) and tried to install Red Hat flavor linux (RHEL and OEL) its just throwing error and not able to install , reached out to microsoft support but no luck , later i returned it.I use ovm with RHEL and OEL all the time , but never had any issue with other windows laptop.
I'm getting this error as well on my Surface Book 3 and have tried near everything. I have no HyperV etc installed and have been through all the suggested steps over and over again but still get the BS error about credential guard despite it supposedly disabled in GPedit. It's getting annoying. I had considered going to HyperV but then found it doesn't support USB passthrough and I need that when mobile so network USB is not a consideration.

Janette,
Thanks for your time. But I if this setting has not worked then it must be something else. It would not matter if the VM was Windows or not as the same issue would occur with VMWare Workstation or Pro.
Ben.
Hi Killswitch,
Did you have any success here. I have tried a few things but keep getting errors. I just upgraded from a Surface 3 to the new Book to have more resources to run a VM.
