I have an Intel Core i5-6400 CPU installed on a ASUS Z-170A mainboard.
According to the documentation of my CPU, this CPU supports Intel Virtualization Technology (VT-X) and it is listed as compatible with HAXM for Android. I have Windows 10 Pro (64-bit build 1803) and VT-x is enabled in BIOS settings, and Memory Integrity is disabled in Windows Defender.
I could not run virtual machines in VMWARE since it prompts for error:
VMware Workstation and Device/Credential Guard are not compatible.
VMware Workstation can be run after disabling Device/Credential Guard.
However, when I use Intel(R) Processor Identification Utility, it reports that my CPU does not support VT-X. This prevents installing HAXM for Android. How do I resolve this?

Unfortunately VMWare prompt and its resolution document was misleading and not explanatory enough to help me.
To enable VT-x besides of enabling it in BIOS, uses should Disable Windows Defender Credential Guard as below:
gpedit.msc
and then go to:Computer Configuration -> Administrative Templates -> System -> Device Guard -> Turn on Virtualization Based Security
and select
Disabled
option.regedit
and delete these keys if they are present in registery:cmd
as administrator and run below command to enable NX bit:regedit
and in folder:set
Enabled
to 0.Here is the result:
