Windows Phone 8 emulator runs from Hyper-V, but I can't debug from Visual Studio

Question

I'm running Visual Studio 2013 on Windows 8.1 Pro.

I am having an issue with debugging Windows Phone 8 apps. When I try and deploy to the virtual Phone (Emulator WVGA 512MB), I get the following:

When I click yes, I get the following error:

After this I get the following error in Visual Studio:

Error 1 App deployment failed. Please try again. Line: 0 Column: 0

If I select No, it just sits on a screen with the following message:

The Windows Phone OS is starting...

I can run the emulator fine directly from Hyper-V, just not from Visual Studio.

I have tried a full repair of Visual Studio. Has anybody seen this? How do I solve this?

Thanks

Answer 1

i usually delete the emulator vm and whatever virtual switches that was created with it, then restart the pc, after that i open Visual studio and i run my app, so that visual studio starts and creates the vm needed, then it works fine

You don't always need to restart i just do it just in case, deleting only the VM can help. just run your app through visual studio again.

Answer 2

open hyper-v go to virtual switch manager and delete all the switchs

then open again your vs and run your project in the emulator , press yes when the configuration message appears

and wait ...

if doesn't work then go to the hyper-v and connect to your emulator and run your project again
