Device/Credential Guard are not Compatible

Short story - I have tried every solution I saw online for solving the Device/Credential Guard are not Compatible error and nothing has worked so far. I am out of ideas other than wiping my pc and starting with a clean windows 10 install.

Longer story:

I am unable to launch any Virtual Machines using VmWare Workstation Player on Windows 10 1809 x64 on a Dell Latitude 7490 laptop. I receive the following error

I have tried every solution I saw online with no success. After taking all the steps described below I tried updating to Windows 10 1903, tried all the same steps and still had no luck.

I use windows defender for security, I tried turning windows defender real-time protection off and still receive the same error.

I do not use hyper-v

Core Isolation / Memory protection was already turned off

I tried turning Core Isolation / Memory Protection on so that I could turn it off but I wasn't even able to turn it on.

Bios - Virtualization is both supported and enabled

Group Policy - I own and manage my computer. There is no group policy on this pc.
