Visual Studio Emulator for Android - An internal virtual network switch is required for emulated devices to run

Question

Problem

I want to use Visual Studio Emulator for Android but whenever I try to start it it fails.

The final part of the Log is:

Answer 1

This error took me weeks to finally resolve. The above solutions did not work for me when doing only what was mentioned. Finally I did all of the following which resolved my issue.

1. Closed all EXD.exe in task manager.
2. Exported and then deleted all VMs in Hyper-V.
3. Deleted all Network Switches in Hyper-V (except the default which would not delete).
4. Deleted my Network Adapters, restarted (it recreated all of them automatically).
5. Went to Add Remove Program > Selected Microsoft Visual Studio Emulator for Android > Clicked Modify > Clicked Repair.
6. Ran XdeCleanup.exe in C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft XDE\10.0.15063.0.
7. Went to Network Connections and disabled all unnecessary connections.

Installed the Emulator again and it worked!!!
