Azure Storage Emulator fails after update to Windows 10 Anniversary update

About a week ago my machine got the Windows Anniversary update. Since then I have not been able to start the Azure Storage Emulator. I've tried uninstalling and re-installing the Azure Storage Emulator and SQL Express Local DB. I've also tried the steps outlined here. Neither resolved the issue. The MSSQLLocalDB exists and I can connect to it via SQL Management Studio.

If I try manually initialing the storage database I get this error message:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Azure\Storage Emulator>AzureStorageEmulator.exe init -inprocess
Windows Azure Storage Emulator 4.3.0.0 command line tool
Cannot reserve port: HttpSetServiceConfigurationAcl failed: Cannot create a file when that file already exists. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x800700B7).
One or more initialization actions have failed. Resolve these errors before attempting to run the storage emulator again.
Error: Cannot reserve port: HttpSetServiceConfigurationAcl failed: Cannot create a file when that file already exists. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x800700B7).

Edit: At this point I've now tried uninstalling/reinstalling Visual Studio 2015, SqlLocalDB 2016 and Azure SDK 2.9.5. The storage emulator is still failing to initialize. If I re-run MicrosoftAzureStorageEmulator.msi I get the error: "Windows Storage Emulator Service has stopped working". Here's the log:

SqlLocalDB seems to be mostly functioning normally. I can create and delete databases from the command line without issue. Here's the output of SqlLocalDB i:

c:\Users\genslow\Downloads>sqllocaldb i

v13.0

Thanks, Greg

Blame BillCo... Win10 updates are a complete mess right now, and M$ is using everyone as their beta testers... – Marc B
Could you try running the command from an elevated command prompt? Or alternatively remove the "-inprocess" argument and it will prompt for elevation. Also, what is the error you are seeing when trying to start the emulator? – Michael Roberson - MSFT
Thanks Michael. All steps I've tried have been at an elevated command prompt. Please see additional data I've added to the original question. The storage emulator doesn't currently install without crashing. – Greg Enslow
The storage emulator requires ports 10000, 10001, and 10002 to function properly. The error above indicates a failure to reserve these ports. Is some other application using any of these ports currently? – Michael Roberson - MSFT

Cannot reserve port: HttpSetServiceConfigurationAcl failed: Cannot create a file when that file already exists. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x800700B7).

According to the error message, it seems that the database already exists, so it returns the error. Please try to delete the database (you could make a backup of database file before you delete it) and then perform Init command. You could also try to use “-forcecreate”, which will force creation of database even if it already exists. Besides, please make sure if you run as administrator to configure the storage emulator.
