I have an error while trying to start universal App for Windows 8 in simulator. Using Windows 10 build 10130 with all latest updates and Visual Studio 2015 Community Edition:
Windows Simulator needs your credentials. Please lock this computer then unlock it using your current password and run the Windows Simulator again. To lock your computer, press CTRL-ALT-DEL and the press Enter
By searching the Stackexchange I found a link to similar problem, but with previous version of VS/Windows and in different environment. Windows Store application + Simulation in MSVS 2013
MS solution for Windows 8 is also not applicable in this case...

Maybe anyone is familiar with a problem?
Build a Universal Windows app for Windows 8.1 and Windows Phone 8.1. They should be able to run without modifications directly in Windows 10 and Windows 10 Mobile. In other words, if you already have an app in the Store, you can simply “do nothing”.
Debug an installed UWP app on a local machineIn Visual Studio, select Debug > Other Debug Targets > Debug Installed App Package. In the Debug Installed App Package dialog, under Connection Type, select Local Machine. Under Installed App Packages, select the app you want to debug, or type its name in the search box.
For some reason is doesn't work if you login using your pin instead of your password. It worked for me when I restarted and used my password instead of pin. I had to run the simulator 3 times before it started up correctly, but it did work.
I resolve this by logout (open Run and type logoff) and login using password (not PIN), lock computer and login not work
