Have you tried disabling Hyper-V on your host as well?

Hi There,

Try this.

Open cmd as an administrator, run below command.

bcdedit /set hypervisorlaunchtype off

After that restart your host.

Search for "Run" and type "gpedit.msc"

Go to Local Computer Policy - Computer Configuration - Administrative Templates - System - Device Guard - Turn on Virtualization
Double click that settings and select "Disable" .

Go to Control Panel - Uninstall a Program - Turn Windows features on or off - (uncheck/turn off) Hyper-V.
Click OK
Select Do not restart.

Start cmd as admin and type this

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 hypervisorlaunchtype off

Restart your OS

If it didn't work, go to Turn Off CG/DG for more information
