Is Device Guard available in Windows 10 Pro? I have Device Guard in Group Policy.

Sorry mate. Pro doesn't have Isolated User Mode in Windows Features for it to be supported yet.

Got it, thanks. But why are those group policies there in Windows 10 Pro?

The Local Group Policy Editor will contain policies for all editions of Windows, but some will only be supported by specific Windows and editions.

Am I missing something? After upgrading to Windows 10 from 1903 to 20H2. I am getting

Win32_TpmProvider provider started with result code 0x0. HostProcess = wmiprvse.exe; ProcessID = 3188; ProviderPath = C:\Windows\System32\wbem\Win32_TPM.dll
And Win32_DeviceGuard provider started with result code 0x0. HostProcess = wmiprvse.exe; ProcessID = 3188; ProviderPath = %SystemRoot%\System32\Win32_DeviceGuard.dll

I have disabled but I still get WMI Activity with Win32_DeviceGuard. Is this supposed to happen? Why are they starting up few minutes after PC boot?

Then if I restart PC it does go away but next day it will return back. Why?? Older version of Windows 10 1903 and 1809 I never experienced this. Is this a new inclusion with latest versions of Windows 10?

I do not have TPM supported or DeviceGuard as running. Yet, I don't understand why WMI Activities and network is being shown at startup. This is getting really frustrating.
