Visual Studio Emulator for Android - Hyper-V No Launch
Have been trying to run Visual Studio Emulator for Android for some time with the end result of an error code from the log [Critical] XDE Exit Code: 16
, [Critical] XDE Exit Code: 3
or an infinite "Preparing virtual machine" state. I've tried numerous troubleshooting guides and various device profiles but have no success or reproduce what worked for others.
Running Windows 8.1 Pro 64-bit
What I have tried:
- Both recovery and reinstallation of the program
- Reinstall Android Studio and SDK (along with the above in different orders)
- Administrative permission change via
Microsoft Management Console
- Running
XdeCleanup.exe
- Create an internal switch in
Hyper-V Manager
(delete between attempts) - All of the above using the "Run as administrator" command
I was able to create a virtual machine using the Internal Switch
(s) I created in Hyper-V Manager
(although there is nothing to boot) and run Virtual Box successfully, so I don't believe this is a question about my BIOS setup. I would really appreciate any insight you could offer or a possible solution that worked for you with this emulator. Thanks for your help.
* Please note: There is no instance of Visual Studio on this machine (documentation suggests this is not required).
