I had the same issue with Virtual Box. After trying to solve the problem for a while I decided to try VMWare Player. This also gave me an error, something with Device Guard being enabled. Then after some searching I came across this video: [this video] In short my problem was solved after entering the commands below in a administrator command prompt: bcdedit /create {0cb3b571-2f2e-4343-a879-d86a476d7215} /d "DebugTool" /application osloader Then copy paste the rest below and press enter 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-d86a476

I had the same error, it was because Device Guard wasn't correctly disabled, you should follow this tutorial [this video] After that restart your computer and try again with admin command prompt

Step 1 - Restart and enter into the bios, enable Virtualization in the bios Step 2 - Then Deactivate Hyper-v and hypervisor platform in "activate/deactivate windows function" I followed this Vedio as reference [this video] Final step - reboot and start. Below attached is a copy of the screenshot. [LINK] I hope it works as it did for me.
