Window Phone 8 Emulator not starting from visual studio - visual-studio-2012

I've just installed the WP8 SDK, but when I try loading a project I created from Visual Studio it just starts the XDE and displays:
Window Phone OS is starting up
But after about 4 minutes it shuts down.
However, when I start up of the emulator manually, it starts perfectly fine. Any idea what the problem could be ?

This happens when you upgrade your system (windows Update) and modify the drivers on your network configuration. Just use the repair function of the WP8 SDK installation disc.

Setting up the Android Studio

[Here is the Screenshot] While setting up the Android studio, I can't run even the simple Application. when I click the run it shows to select the target device. but for devices, I can't select any device. It is still loading. What would be the reason?
Is there any version issue or Windows issue? I'm using Windows 11 and android-studio-2020.3.1.24-windows
There may be a problem with Windows 11. to solve that issue follow the steps
Go to the android studio app
Right-click the app
Go to Properties
Go to compatibility
Check the Run this program in compatibility mode
Select windows version 10 or 8 or 7
Then apply and ok
After these changes start the Android Studio App

Visual Studio 2017 Installation breaks Windows 10 (on a MacBook Pro)

I have a fresh Windows 10 installation on my MacBook Pro (Late 2016) along with the newest Bootcamp drivers. Everything is working and shiny up until now.
When I install Visual Studio 2017 Enterprise it works up to a point where the reboot takes place. This takes really long, but windows is starting again, for about 7 minutes windows boots while showing the loading indicator. When I'm finally prompted for Login, the MacBooks keyboard and trackpad doesn't work anymore, as we'll as I don't have a wifi connection or audio (having the x sign in taskbar).
I tried the whole painfull process three times now while ending up with the same problem. Windows is broken, which means I can't reinstall the bootcamp drivers (crashes system), no system restore points can be restored (failing), I can't reset windows (breaks the boot process and results in a blank screen). I guess this is somehow related to an intercompatibility between bootcamp and Visual Studio 2017.
I'm not sure if this is related to any specific components of VisualStudio which I install. I'll try a minimal install next...
It was the same for me, Windows 10 was loading 5-8 minutes and no keyboard and touchpad support. After 3-5 re-installs(windows and VS2017), found that issue caused by Hyper-V virtualization. It is disabled by default, but as soon as you installed VS 2017 with at least one component which require Hyper-V, you will never be able to login to you windows on macbook pro.
Just DO NOT install any emulators:
Google Android emulator,
Intel hardware accelerated execution manager(HAXM),
Visual Studio emulator for Android,
Windows 10 Mobile Emulator
And Windows will work fine.

Android Emulator won't start after Android Studio 2.0 upgrade

I recently upgraded Android Studio to 2.0 (Windows) which broke the emulator.
The symptom is that the emulator starts a (single thread) process that takes about 100% of its CPU. Nothing shows on the screen.
Of course, this worked like a charm before the update.
Few things I tried:
Used an AVD created before and after the update
Increased AVD memory to 1G
Delete / Install Android Studio
Used different CPU Architecture (Arm & x86)
Used different versions of API (21 & 23)
I had the same problem I had to reinstall android studio all over again, After that open your SDK monitor press on launch stand alone SDK manager, There scroll down and check if the emulator is installed properly if not install it.
I hope this answer helped you since that's what I did and it works.
A temporary solution:
Go into the AVD Manager, select the Virtual device, and click "Edit"
Find "Emulated Performance" -> Graphics, and switch that from auto (or hardware) to Software.
It won't have quite the performance, but this worked for me. Seems to be that Android Studio 2.0 doesn't play well with certain graphics cards or something.

Windows Mobile Emulator 10.0.10240.0 not launching the OS

I have Windows 10 Pro installed (Hyper-V activated) and Visual Studio Enterprise 2015 (with "Universal Windows App Development Tools" and "Windows 8.1 and Windows Phone 8.0/8.1 Tools" installed) . I can launch succesfully all Windows Phone 8.1 Emulators but if I launch Windows Mobile Emulator 10 that is what happens:
The Phone Emulator opens properly with the write "Loading...".
After a while appears the write "OS is starting...".
Finally (after 5-10 minutes) the write disappear without launching the OS, the emulator just stays open with the black screen.
Visual Studio doesn't give any error so I really don't know what is the problem.
I also tried to launch the emulator directly from Hyper-V (right click on the emulator->Connect and then Action->Start) but the window just stays black. It seems I can't load the OS.
Any suggestion would be appreciated.
Open your HyperV, Open Visual Switch Manager .
Find VisualSwitch related to the Emulator ,click on it .
In Connection Type ,set connection to Private network ,Then press OK and restart your PC .After restart do the same and change Connection Type to Internal network and then restart.
Then it should work ,I guess!

Phone emulator in Visual Studio 2015 RC on Windows 10 preview build 10074 does not work

I had some problem in running some Phone of the emulators in VS2015 RC so I tried to install also the "Pre-release Microsoft Emulator for Windows 10 Mobile" and then also the external SDK ...
Now, even thought I uninstalled the external Windows 10 SDK and made a "repair" of VS2015 RC, no one of the phone emulators stars (it goes till the "OS is starting" phase and then remain in that state till, after many minutes, the emulator crashes and some time a popup says "The emulator is unable to get the sensor states from the device: Operation failed because connection is shut down", ... most of the times no error is reported).
I also tried to delete in the Hyper-V manager both the created emulators virtual machines and the related Virtual Switches related to Windows Phone Emulator Internal: these are recreated at the next run of the emulator from VS, but nothing changed ...
Any suggestion? How can I make at least some of the phone emulators work properly?
Regards
Enzo
