Constant Visual Studio Update Required popup for Monogame 3.4 and Windows 10 UAP project

Question

So, I’ve been trying to launch Monogame template on Windows Phone emulator with Visual Studio, but I couldn’t get it work.

This is what I have tried:

In my project I have encountered a problem with creating a Monogame project for Windows UAP in Visual Studio. I have tried to create a project with a Wizard tool, but after project creation I got the message that I need to install Universal Platform Tools

after I pressed Install button an error has occurred

Notification in Solution Explorer: This project requires a Visual Studio update to load. Right-click on the project and choose “Download Update”.

After clicking on “Download Update” it takes me to this website

After choosing “reload project” it displays the following error:

after choosing highlighted option “Install” it takes me again to the mentioned website.

Does anyone know what I am missing or what should I do in this situation?

Answer 1

On your device navigate to

\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\Extension SDKs\WindowsMobile\

From here you will find the version number of windows installed on your system.
Now Right click and click on Edit YourProject.csproj
Now here look for

<TargetDeviceFamily Name="Windows.Universal" MinVersion="10.0.10240.0" MaxVersionTested="10.0.10240.0" />

You will need to update this to the version numbers here to ones that is installed on your system esp the minversion number.
Now save it and you should be able to open up your project in most of the cases.
If that still doesnt fix the issue or if your project has been created for different version of windows app 8.1 etc then have a look at this Microsoft Link.
Hope that helps. But if in monogame you are still facing an issue try this Webcached link
