Visual Studio failed deploy to HoloLens: Error DEP6957 : Failed to connect to device

Question

I am having trouble deploying the Hololens Academy module: Holograms (210) to the Hololens device. It will ask for the pin, I enter it and it fails.

I can deploy and run in the emulator just fine.

I can assure that the computers are on the same network and I leave the Hololens on the pairing screen.

Error DEP6957 : Failed to connect to device '172.16.25.29' using Universal Authentication. Please verify the correct remote authentication mode is specified in the project debug settings. 0x8007274C: The network event being waited on triggered an error. ModelExplorer

Answer 1

I had this issue and solved it by installing USB Device Connectivity through the individual components section of the visual studio installer. You may also ensure that the associated service is running by using the windows Services tool.
