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

Windows 10 pro.

After attempting all the above, and similar suggestions from other threads, what ultimately worked for me was to:

• Uninstall Hyper-V: Add/Remove -> Turn Windows Features On / Off
• Uninstall Visual Studio Emulator for Android
• Reboot
• In Device Manager, "Uninstall" all remaining "Hyper-V Virtual Ethernet Adapter" instances found under "Network Adapters" node
• Reboot
• Reinstall Hyper-V
• Reboot
• Reinstall Visual Studio Emulator for Android
• Download a device profile and launch
• profit

Not all the reboots may have been necessary, but I had been banging my head against this for too long.

I believe this was caused due to me adding and removing Hyper-V a few times in the past, and some VirtualBox conflicts (which I currently do not have installed, it hasn't played nice with Hyper-V for me in the past).

Thanks for all tips above, hope this helps someone.
