I want to install the Windows Phone 8.1 Emulator, but it doens't work because of the system requirements.
But I have a brand new laptop with Windows 8.1 Pro, 64 Bit, 8GB RAM and I have active Hyper-V + Microsoft Visual Studio Express 2013 for Windows Update 3.
So I don't know what to do.
Can you help me?
You need to turn on Second Level Address Translation in your bios. Some laptop manufactures do not ship with this turned on. You processor must be an i3 i5 i7 from intel.
or
Rapid Virtualization Indexing Required is required if running an AMD processor

I have an HP laptop with 6 GB ram with an AMD chipset using VS 2017 community and have Xamarin installed. I am NOT using Windows Pro and I am unable to get an emulator to work properly. Before investing more money in a new computer, I am trying to make this laptop do the job. I am wondering if it is the AMD chipset or lack of Windows Pro or both that is the problem.
You do not need Hyper-V to run an Android emulator. What your hardware needs to support is at least Intel-VT or something similar. If it does not support it, use a real device to test, which is recommend any ways.
the android emulator needs Hyper-V, and that role can't be activated on some Windows 10 editions (like Home). The system requirements for Hyper-V are documented here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/virtualization/hyper-v-on-windows/reference/hyper-v-requirements . You'll need either Professional, Education or Enterprise.
Using Windows 10, and just moved PC to a new Kaby Lake processer/motherboard.
On my old PC, the Android emulator worked in HAXM - virt-mode - but no longer on this pc. Same cloned disk copy...so software setup is the same.
I read that maybe Windows 10 is turning HYPER-V on at boot time and interferes with the emulator virt-mode. I created a new boot entry - turning it off...still no go.
Any help/suggestions?
New motherboard bios has VT-D enabled...same Windows software - only thing different is the motherboard and the cpu (gen 5-> gen 7)
Got it working!
I uninstalled the Intel HAXM driver/module from Android SDK manager.
Then went to Intel site and download the HAXM program - worked fine.
Before that, made sure VT was enabled in bios, HYPER-V was disabled (Windows 10 home should be disabled) and feature supported by Kaby Lake CPUs.
Lately i wanted to get into Windows Phone 8 development and i installed Visual Studio 2013 + Windows Phone SDK 8 + Visual Studio 2013 Latest update.
My system parameters are:
- 8gb ram
- Windows 8.1 64bit system
- Intel i5
The moment i try to run a Windows Phone project a dialog appears and it says:
Title - " Cant start the windows phone emulator"
Subtitle - "The Windows Phone Emulator requires Hyper-V.Your PC is missing the following pre-requisites required to run Hyper-V:
-Windows 8 Professional(64 bit)"
After i saw that i checked for how to upgrade Normal Windows 8.1 to Windows 8.1 Professional.
With no luck i tried to find out more about to install Hyper-V with the BIOS configuration with no luck as well.
Usually i develop on Android with Eclipse(with the Emulator) so i can't understand the reason why a emulator of Windows Phone can't run on my system.
P.S
I dont have Hyper-V feature in the Windows Feature list to Turn off/on
Thanks heads up for each answer! :)
The error is saying you need Windows 8.1 x64 Pro or Enterprise to be able to install Hyper-V. You can still develop phone apps in the edition of Windows 8.1 you have but you must debug on on a windows phone the emulator will not be available
System Control -> Programms and Functions -> "Activate or deactivate Windows Features" (in the left bar)
(freely translated from my german win8.1)
There you can activate Hyper-V if it is inside your Windows-version. Then try to restart VS2013 and start the emulator. I had to "deactivate" my Hyper-V and activate it again for some reason. Then it worked.
Good Luck! :)
The Windows Phone 8 emulator is a special Hyper-V image. It cannot run on other virtualization technology.
Without the emulator, the alternative option would be to use an actual device.
you can use a virtual machine to deploy windows phone 8 OS. Your System processor does not support hyper-v so, you can install win phone 8 on a virtual machine. you would found this link helpful.. check it out: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WANk_XaovqM
Step which i followed; ( I already have windows 8.1 64-bit machine )
Enabled 'Virtualization / Hardware assisted virtualization' in bios. [ https://www.google.co.in/search?q=enable+virtualization+in+bios&oq=enable+virtual&aqs=chrome.1.69i57j0l5.5117j0j7&sourceid=chrome&es_sm=93&ie=UTF-8 ].
Hyper-V option came in 'windows features' after I did this step.
Later, I Became a member of Hyper-V admin group.
I am new to wp development while installing. windows mobile sdk i am getting an error "This computer does not support windows phone emulator which requires the 64 bit edition of windows 8.1 pro and a computer that supports Hiper-V" as shown in the below screen shot....
I am using windows 8.1 pro 64 bit operating system and dual core second generation processor and 4 gb ram.
For Windows phone emulator installation should requires SLAT support for the machine
See the requirements for WP 8

Check whether your system has SLAT support using the below software
http://slatstatuscheck.codeplex.com/
If your machine is SLAT enabled make sure the Hyper-V settings in "Windows Features" as below:
It works only on the processor that has HYPER-V(Virtualization). All the intel i-series supports virtualization.
After I run my application on WP7 Simulator on Windows 8 x64, Intel GPU driver crashes, with the following in the system event log: "Display driver igfx stopped responding and has successfully recovered". It doesn't occur immediately after I launch my application, only a few seconds later. After Windows resets the GPU and recovers, the emulator screen stays black.
The GPU is Intel HD 3000 inside 2-nd generation mobile core i5 CPU.
On Windows 7 x64 everything works great, which rules out hardware problems.
I've tried both upgrade 7 -> 8, and clean install. I have WP SDK 7.1.1, Visual Studio 2010 SP1, Windows Market Place Client, XNA Game Studio 4.0 all installed.
How do I fix the emulator and/or Intel GPU driver and/or my app?
P.S. I have another GPU by nVidia. however nVidia has a predefined setting "Windows Phone 7 Emulator" , so I can't switch the graphic processor for the emulator, the option is set to "Integrated graphics" and grayed out. When I used some utility to overcome that defect in nVidia's drivers, XDE.exe started to crash upon launching, saying "0xC0000005: Access violation writing location 0x00000000".
have you checked for all: disk/file corruption, other major drivers, BIOS, low level chipset driversand even startup programs/services including antivirus/antispyware/security programs.
and get the latest drivers here Intel drivers
