Turn off Credential Guard or Device Guard

Whenever I try to run a vm in vmware,it gives this error:

VMware Workstation and Device/Credential Guard are not compatible. VMware Workstation can be run after disabling Device/Credential Guard.

Any help?

 

Device/Credential Guard are not compatible.

I have to use VMware Workstation for some reason but it says
Device/Credential Guard are not compatible. So from the research I got to know that first I have to disable the Credential Guard then I maybe able to use VMware Workstation, And for that I need a Group Policy Editor.

So the question is from where I can find group policy editor. I am unable to locate it.

And also can somebody tell me that Disabling the Device/Credential Guard won't harm my computer.?

Double click that .... and select "Disable" ...
Go to Control Panel - Uninstall a Program - Turn Windows features on or off - (uncheck/turn off) Hyper-V.
