Device Guard + VMware Workstation Pro 12.5
Hi All
I'm hoping someone who knows something about Device Guard and virtualisation can help me with a question I have.
I recently rebuilt my desktop with Windows 10 Enterprise 64bit Creators Update. I use VMware Workstation Pro 12.5 daily for my work from home.
One of the features I would like to make use of in the Enterprise version of Windows 10 is Device Guard to help protect my machine from malware.
Unfortunately you need to enable the Hyper-V role to be able to use Device Guard. This means that VMware Workstation Pro 12.5 stops working.
So I was wondering since Hyper-V supports nested virtualisation in the Creators Update is there ANYWAY I can enable Device Guard on my machine AND still be able to use VMware Workstation Pro 12.5?
Before someone says "Just use Hyper-V to run your VMs", I did try this and a) Didn't like Hyper-V and b) Had issues using VPN connections from my VM under Hyper-V so using Hyper-V for my VMs isn't an option.
I'd really like to use Device Guard but don't want to give up VMware Workstation.
Thank you!
