turn off Credential Guard

You can turn it off with registry changes, a GPO, Intune, or whatever you're using to manage your systems (if anything).

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/questions/1021785/windows-11-22h2-can39t-use-saved-credential.html

Easiest way is via the registry:

Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\DeviceGuard.

Add a new DWORD value named EnableVirtualizationBasedSecurity and set its value to 0.
Add another new DWORD value named RequirePlatformSecurityFeatures and set that to 0.

reg add HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\DeviceGuard /v EnableVirtualizationBasedSecurity /t REG_DWORD /d "0" /f

reg add HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\DeviceGuard /v RequirePlatformSecurityFeatures /t REG_DWORD /d "0" /f

Now go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa.

Add a new DWORD value named LsaCfgFlags and set it to 0.

reg add HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa /v LsaCfgFlags /t REG_DWORD /d "0" /f

Restart your computer.

Had same issue, and was solved by running regedit, erasing some entries in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\explorer\ShellIconOverlayIdentifiers and restarting. Deleting OneDrive1... enties was not permited, but I had some from Google Drive. You can also make a bakup by double-clicking in the registry directory and doing an "Export" to a file.

On Windows 10, most of the entries are used by OneDrive and you won't have permission to remove them. In order to do so, right click on the entry (Example: "OneDrive1", then click "Advanced", then click the link labled "Change" at the very top next to "Owner". This lets you change the owner. Type in your username and hit OK. Now give yourself "Full Control" and then apply it. Now you should be able to delete or rename it.

Disable dump stack logging

Anyway, dump stack logging can be disabled. To do so, enforce the following setting in Windows Registry:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\CrashControl]
"EnableLogFile"=dword:00000000

In other words:

    Open the Registry Editor.
    Navigate to "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE", "SYSTEM", "CurrentControlSet", "Control", and finally "CrashControl"
    Once you've opened the "CrashControl" key, look at the values pane to the right and look for "EnableLogFile". 
    If it doesn't exist, create it. Its type must be "DWORD".
    Set its value to 0.
    Exit the Registry Editor.

Turn Off Windows Update

The NoAutoUpdate value of the registry key 
HKEY\LOCAL\MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate\AU

To disable Windows Automatic Updates, set the Value data of NoAutoUpdate to 1. To enable them, set it to 0.

reg add HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WindowsUpdate\AU /v NoAutoUpdate /t REG_DWORD /d "1" /f
