Defender Application Guard issues
I have a new Surface pro 7 running Windows 10 Enterprise, all patched and updated. The machine is Azure AD joined and managed by Intune on a M365E5 license.
Every time I try and access ANY website in Edge WDAG launches and fails! So, I have two issues:
1. Why does Windows Defender Application Guard launch for every web site?
2. Why does it crash
So the error from the browser after the crash is:
WDAG Report - Container: Error: 0x80070013, Ext error: 0x00000001; RDP: Error: 0x00000000, Ext error: 0x00000000 Location: 0x00000000
If I look at Event viewer | Applications and Services | Microsoft | Windows | WDAG-Manager | Operational - I see:
A Failure has occurred: HResult = Unspecified error, File = windows\hvsi\hvsimgr\manager\isolatedapplauncher.cpp, LineNumber = 376, Function = NULL, Message = NULL, CallingContext = NULL, Module = hvsimgr.exe, Code = NULL
and
A Failure has occurred: HResult = The media is write protected., File = windows\hvsi\hvsimgr\container\hvsicontainer.cpp, LineNumber = 769, Function = NULL, Message = NULL, CallingContext = NULL, Module = hvsimgr.exe, Code = NULL
also
C:\WINDOWS\system32>wdagtool.exe cleanup RESET_PERSISTENCE_LAYER
Terminating HvsiMgr.exe
HvsiMgr.exe process not found
Performing cleanup and restarting the container
* [WDAGTool] - Failed to reset the container. - HRESULT: 80070013
* [WDAGTool] - The hvsi cleanup tool has failed. - HRESULT: 80070013
A. I have tried enabling and disabling Hyper-V and WDAG on the device. They are all on now
B. I have disabled and re-enabled WDAG using PowerShell
C. I have run a system file scan with no errors
Suggestions??
Thanks
Robert

RobertCrane I'm facing similar issues.
I can't even run WDAG! It's installed, available on the brwoser but does not run.
Machine fully updated and managed from Intune.
Thanks,
António
- dipendas1979Brass ContributorI have WDAG running is Standalone mode hence all websites are launched normaly. However one website tries to open in Application Guard Window.
