SOLUTION:

And we were right! The issue is related to Hyper-V on Windows 10 when running on the latest Intel (Skylake) processors. (Thanks Mike, from the VS Android Emulator team, who suggested this possible workaround).

Hot to Fix it:

• In the Hyper-V manager, right click on the Android VM you are using.
• Click Settings
• Expand "Processor", select "Compatibility"
• Enable "Migrate to a physical computer with a different processor version"

You can see below the checkbox you have to select.
