If I create a new UWP (Windows Universal App) and try to deploy it to any mobile emulator is fails with

"There were deployment errors. Continue?"

Investigating the output window and error list there is absolutely nothing there.

I can deploy the application when the target is Local Machine.

Hyper V has no virtual machines registered.

Any ideas?

Answer 1

the information you get "Hyper V has no virtual machines registered" suggest that your Hyper-V is disabled. Try to type in coreinfo-v.exe in your cmd to find out. Make sure that your processor supports Virtualization otherwise there is nothing you can do.:( If you follow this link you will find quite a lot of information how to enable Hyper-V in your computer. It's an article for Windows phone emulator 8.1 but still quite useful. https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/apps/jj863509(v=vs.105).aspx#coreinfo
