Windows Phone emulator not starting (couldn`t setup the UDP port)

Question

After updating Windows 10 to build 10061 windows phone emulators (all 8.1 and 10) stopped starting. I get the following error: \"Windows Phone Emulator is unable to connect

Answer 1

For me, the following steps worked:

1. Open Hyper-V manager and delete all emulators

2. From Virtual Switch Manager (right side of hyper-v manager), delete all internal switches

3. From Control Panel->Network and Sharing Center, disable the virtual ethernet port for windows phone emulator

4. Start Visual Studio and start emulator from there (Just deploy a project)
   
   Update: Your old connection will stay disabled and a new connection will be created. If you want to delete the old connection, go to device manager, find the connection and choose "uninstall"
