Windows (phone) emulator 8.1/10 stuck at loading the OS
I believe you have two Windows Phone Internal Switch connections and one seems to be unplugged while the other is running. Disable the one that is unplugged and leave the latter. This worked for me after 2days of tinkering. God speed.
Many times it is not stuck. It just does take too long to start. I have an 8 core processor and it took like 5 minutes to launch, I tought it was stuck but it did launch.
Try the following.
- Open the Hyper-V Manager
- In the Actions pane, click Hyper-V Settings
- In the Server pane, select Physical GPUs
- Uncheck, Use this GPU with RemoteFX
- Click OK to save/close.
Attempt to start the Windows Phone emulator VM from within Hyper-V Manager or Visual Studio.
I solved this problem by simply adding XDE.EXE as an exception to my Windows Firewall.
