Answer 1

After you install the SDK bundle. XDE emulators begin to setup themselves immediately consuming a large ram from your rig. It might have happened that you restarted your pc/laptop while the XDE was setting up.

So i would suggest you to Unistall and Reinstall again the SDK package with Update 3 to enjoy no problems. Also please note that you are running windows 8.1 pro or Enterprise/Embedded Industry pro edition.
