Windows Phone 8.1 emulator stuck at starting OS
So, after around 2 days of non-stop googling i found a solution from other stackoverflow question where someone had similar problem but with Android emulator Visual studio (2015) emulator for android not working - XDE.exe - Exit Code 3
What I did was:
- Delete All VMs in Hyper V
- Delete All switches in Hyper V
- Run xdecleanup.exe for every version of XDE (Found at C:/Program Files (x86)/Microsoft XDE/ [8.0/8.1/10.0.10240.0] /XdeCleanup.exe
- Run Change/Repair on 'Windows Phone 8.1 Emulators - ENU'
- Restart Visual Studio
I tried what you did and it didn't work. So I did the following:
- Go to "Control Panel\Network and Internet\Network Connections"
- right click on "vEthernet (Internal Ethernet Port Windows Phone Emulator Internal Switch)".
- Choose properties and check the case "Hyper-V Extensible Virtual Switch" and click OK.
- Again right click on vEthernet and disable it. Then re-enable it.
- Run the VM and wait for a few minutes (The 1st time is always longer to load)
