How do I test Windows 10 for CredentialGuard or DeviceGuard or BitDefender
How do I test Windows 10 for CredentialGuard or DeviceGuard or BitDefender?
My first installation of Oracle VirtualBox is a disaster from the start in that Windows 10 Home Pro won't let the Oracle VirtualBox use any 64-bit guest operating system (such as the 64-bit Ubuntu ISO). I ran every step that I could in this FAQ. https://forums.virtualbox.org/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=62339 But the steps that they don't tell me how to do are these. 1. Turn off EFI BIOS, 2. Turn off DeviceGuard, 3. Turn off CredentialGuard, 4. Turn off BitDefender, 5. Turn off your AV. Can you provide Windows 10 advices to help me figure out if I even have any of those things and how to turn them off? |

I ran the AMD Virtualization Technology and Microsoft Hyper-V System Compatibility Check Utility test. http://support.amd.com/en-us/search/...virtualization As shown in this screenshot just now it says the BIOS is bad. https://s18.postimg.org/vrc3zibzd/failed_amd_test.gif For an HP desktop, how do we get Windows to tell us the BIOS version? |

I don't know the Windows command but I use Belarc Advisor instead, If you download and run this program it will give you not only the Bios version but tons of other useful and valuable information as well Hope this helps.

Now that I have the BIOS version, I found out that HP has no new BIOS downloads available for my machine, so, it doesn't matter what the BIOS version is as there is only one version possible. |

Thank you both for the advice of Speccy. v1.30.730 (16 Nov 2016) https://www.piriform.com/speccy/download Here are my notes: Disconnect the net before installing. Do not just hit the first "install" button! Tries to install Google Chrome (must uncheck on the first screen). Also you must hit "Customize" link on the first screen installing. That gives you the option to uncheck the "automatically check for updates". Again, do not hit the "install" button! Then you must hit the "more" button. That gives you the option to put it where you want it. It also gives the option to install just for you or for everyone. Then hit install. Good news: It installs, literally, in seconds. But it takes a few minutes to first run, which hangs everything on Windows while it does, and causes the screen to lock up and within a few minutes, I got a Windows BSOD. Your PC ran into a problem and needs to restart... DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL (ahcix64s.sys) Nonetheless it reports good stuff. And it can save that information to a text file. http://filehippo.com/download_speccy Speccy is a comprehensive, lightweight, advanced system information tool for your PC. It provides you with detailed statistics on every piece of hardware in your computer; including CPU, Motherboard, RAM, Graphics Cards, Hard Disks, Optical Drives, and Audio support. In addition, Speccy also adds the temperatures of your different components, so you can easily see if there's a problem! |

Had I known *that*, I wouldn't have bothered to even check for those two darn things! I tried to get the authors to *fix* their stupid FAQ, but they have resisted so far, saying that "everyone knows this" which isn't even close to my experience. Sigh. |

One thing it found was that "Bitdefender" was "disabled". https://s7.postimg.org/paesqbxu3/bitdefender.gif Is that normal to have BitDefender disabled on Windows 10? Should I enable BitDefender if I already have Avast running & up to date? What do most of you do with respect to Bit Defender & Avast? |

They can interfere with each other. What do most of you do with respect to Bit Defender & Avast? I run neither. |
