Windows Phone Emulator is unable to connect to the Windows Phone operating system: The phone did not respond to the connect request. Some functionality might be disabled

Question

We are receiving following error, while trying to deploy the application on Win Phone emulator. “Windows Phone Emulator is unable to connect to the Windows Phone operating system: The phone did not respond to the connect request. Some functionality might be disabled.”

I have tried all possible ways that we found on blogs. We are still not able to solve this issue

Answer 1

hmm.. is it working fine previously? What have you tried? 

How about restarting the phone emulator and visual studio?

Answer 2

Any solution found for this? Getting it on Windows 10 w/ the latest developer bits (VS 2015 CTP 6) - can't connect to 8.1 emulator. :/

Answer 5

I have had a lot of issues with the emulator in the past.

Check out this troubleshooting guide. It might help:

Also, I find that if I cancel my build/deploy while it is stuck on booting the OS and then wait a short while the phone OS will complete booting, and from that point I can deploy to the emulator. It's a workaround, but it works well for me.

I need to do that on Windows 10 tech preview, which may or may not be simply an incompatibility with the beta OS.

Answer 6

Just got it.

• Launch Hyper-V manager
• Delete all Windows Phone Hyper-V instances
• Open Virtual Switch Manager
• Delete Windows Phone switch
• Re-deploy from VS

You'll get prompted that it needs Admin access to reconfigure Hyper-V for you, then everything works.

This was my experience with VS 2015 CTP 6 and the 512mb 4" 8.1u1 emulator just now.

Answer 7

This worked for me except after the first try I had to modify the switch to use my network adapter. I got the error right away, hit ok then it loaded fine. still don't have internet on it but I'm just glad its working at least.

Answer 8

Hmm, can´t find Hyper-V manager anywhere. Should be installed. Hints?


Edit: Goggled it B-)

This works for me too :) Thanx!
