After updating Windows 10 to build 10061 windows phone emulators (all 8.1 and 10) stopped starting. I get the following error:
"Windows Phone Emulator is unable to connect to the Windows Phone operating system. Couldn`t setup the UDP port"
I tried "reparing" emulators, but nothing changed.
Hyper-V manager shows that virtual machine works, and it can be started directly from Hyper-V manager.
As i said, in previous windows 10 TP builds it was OK.
The solutions above did not work for me. I found out that the issue was with the Hyper v adapters so I decided to deleted them which caused hyper -v to create them again.
These are the steps
Run cmd as admin and enter the following commands
set devmgr_show_nonpresent_devices=1
start devmgmt.msc
This will startup the device manager and show the list of hyper v network adapters
Right click and uninstall all hyper v network adapters
Open Hyper v manager and delete the virtual machines
From Virtual Switch Manager (right side of hyper-v manager), delete all internal switches
Restart the system and run visual studio and launch emulator

Do you see your "Virtual Switch" information under: Control Panel\Network and Internet\Network Connections? If not, you can try to recreate your "Windows Phone Emulator Internal Switch" again from Hyper-V to see if that resolves your issue. Try these steps below:
1.) Open Hyper-V
2.) Shutdown any existing configured Phone emulators.
3.) Click on "Virtual Switch Manager"
4.) Click on the "Windows Phone Emulator Internal Switch"
5.) Remember what the settings are displayed there (because you will delete it and recreate it)
6.) Delete the existing "Windows Phone Emulator Internal Switch" by clicking "Remove"
7.) Click "Apply" and "OK"
8.) Re-create the "Windows Phone Emulator Internal Switch" by clicking the "New virtual network switch" and use the same settings you remembered in Step 5.
9.) Then try to F5 from Visual Studio - which should configure a new emulator on the right virtual switch.
I had similar problem, i tried the various solutions offered (cleaning up the Hyper-V images and network switches), reinstalling Hyper-V, reinstalling Visual Studio, restoring to Old System Restore point - but none of my actions didn't resolved the problem.
But i tried below action which fixed the problem, off course some might able to resolve the problem with above steps and other answers provided.
In my case, my virtual adapter doesn't have network connectivity. I shared my wi-fi adapter connectivity to virtual adapter. This fixed for me, i can able to deploy apps into emulator without any crashes.
For me, the following steps worked:
Open Hyper-V manager and delete all emulators
From Virtual Switch Manager (right side of hyper-v manager), delete all internal switches
From Control Panel->Network and Sharing Center, disable the virtual ethernet port for windows phone emulator
Start Visual Studio and start emulator from there (Just deploy a project)
Update: Your old connection will stay disabled and a new connection will be created. If you want to delete the old connection, go to device manager, find the connection and choose "uninstall"
In my case there was a problem with my notebook modem. It is a Sierra Wireless EM7345 4G LTE. As soon as I deactived it the Win10 Mobile Emulator worked like a charm.
For me all above solutions didn't work.
Maybe because my Ethernet is disabled.
My solution is similar to other:
1) delete vm's from hyper-v
2) delete all internal switches
3) create manually new switch and select wifi

4) install vm profile
5) start it :)...
after 6h endly
If for some reason you are unable to delete internal switches in Hyper-V UI:
go to regedit
HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\vmsmp\Parameters\SwitchList
delete Windows Phone entry (or all)
reboot computer
start VS and run emulator which will set everything up
I had a similar problem and tried many solutions and got the emulator working by doing the below steps:
Remove all the virtual switches from "Virtual Switch manager"
Restart your system.
Goto Control Panel -> Network and Internet -> Network and Sharing Center -> Advanced sharing settings
Advance sharing screen
And enable "Turn on Network discovery" and "Turn on file and printer sharing" for all network profiles.
Start emulator.
Done.
The steps suggested by Magani Felix above worked for me, but I had to apply two additional steps:
After deleting virtual switches from devmgmt.msc, the remaining virtual switch entry can't be removed from hyper-v manager anymore (step 5). However, just leaving it there was ok.
The first time I started the emulator from Visual Studio it could not connect. When I looked at the virtual switch in hyper-v manager, it had been created as a private virtual network. Shutting down the emulator from both Visual Studio and hyper-v manager, and then changing the internal switch to internal virtual network solved the issue. Afterwards, the emulator would start from Visual Studio and connect.
Windows 10 pro.
After attempting all the above, and similar suggestions from other threads, what ultimately worked for me was to:
Uninstall Hyper-V: Add/Remove -> Turn Windows Features On / Off
Uninstall Visual Studio Emulator for Android
Reboot
In Device Manager, "Uninstall" all remaining "Hyper-V Virtual Ethernet Adapter" instances found under "Network Adapters" node
Reboot
Reinstall Hyper-V
Reboot
Reinstall Visual Studio Emulator for Android
Download a device profile and launch
profit
Not all the reboots may have been necessary, but I had been banging my head against this for too long.
I believe this was caused due to me adding and removing Hyper-V a few times in the past, and some VirtualBox conflicts (which I currently do not have installed, it hasn't played nice with Hyper-V for me in the past).
Thanks for all tips above, hope this helps someone.
The solution offered by Silmar worked for me. All-in-all it appears that at least for Windows 10 Pro that one should install Hyper-V but not configure any virtual switches as the emulator installer will configure things properly.
Try this OPTION
1.) Open Hyper-V
2.) Shutdown any existing configured Windows Phone emulators.
3.) Delete the existing Phone emulators you see in the list
3.) Click on “Virtual Switch Manager”
4.) Click on the “Windows Phone Emulator Internal Switch”
5.) Delete the existing “Windows Phone Emulator Internal Switch” by clicking “Remove”
6.) Click “Apply” and “OK”
This should work.
If this does not, then do this:
Now, open “Network Connections”
You will see there “vEthernet (Internal Ethernet Port Windows Phone Emulator Internal Switch)”
But hey, you deleted this same switch in OPTION 1, but still it shows in the Network Connections page.
Now open Device Manager, Expand “Network Adapters”
You will see the names appearing under Network Adapter match the same as “Device Name” mentioned in “Network Connections” window
Find out the correct “Hyper-V Virtual Ethernet Adapter” to be removed.
Now, in Device Manager, right click the correct Network Adapter and choose “Uninstall”.
This should disappear from the list.
Open “Network Connections” and see that “vEthernet (Internal Ethernet Port Windows Phone Emulator Internal Switch)” will no longer be present there.
Open Visual Studio, run the project in your desired emulator.
This time everything will work fine and the Emulator will boot up Windows 10 or Windows 8.
I know it's an old thread but just thought I would chime in.
What fixed it for me was going into "Turn windows features on or off"... unselecting all the hyper v boxes... restarting my computer... then selecting all the hyper v boxes again in "turn windows features on or off" and restarting again....
This fixed it for me. I tried the solutions mentioned above but they did not work.
I have struggled for some days with this issue.
After I have read all forums and references, I have found the solution and fixed it. The solution was as following.

Interference from other virtualization or networking software and drivers
Other virtualization and networking software and drivers can interfere with the virtual network used by the emulator to communicate with Visual Studio. The types of software that may cause a problem include:
-Virtualization software other than Hyper-V.
-VPN clients.
-Software firewalls.
-Antivirus applications that hook into the network stack.
-Network monitoring or logging tools.
-Other system monitoring software.
After I uninstalled some software to interfere, I can run the emulator successfully.
Hope this help.
Thanks
Open Hyper-V Manager.
Open Virtual Switch Manager on the right side like pictured below:
Remove all Virtual Switches that contain "Windows Phone Emulator Internal Switch" and "Microsoft Emulator NAT Switch" like pictured below:
On Visual Studio, Click on your emulator that you want to deploy your app on.
I received this message when running the emulator:
[Window Title] Windows Phone Emulator
[Content] Windows Phone Emulator is unable to create the internal
network switch:
Something happened while creating a switch: Failed while creating

(0xE0000204).
[Close]
Why it gives this error, and how could I fix it?
1.Go into Hyper V Manager.
2.Go into Virtual Switch Manager.
3.Create a new virtual switch called 'Windows Phone Emulator Internal Switch'.
4.Set it's connection type to Internal.
5.Now launch the emulator. It should work.
(May be a reboot will be needed)
I had the same problem after digging for couple of hours finally I did this:
Go to programs and features and turn of the hyper-v through "turn windows features on or off" then restart the computer and turn it on and restart the computer again to have a fresh hyper-v.
Run cmd where Xde.exe is installed (usually in "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft XDE\10.0.10240.0") and run command "Xde.exe -v sdcard.vhd"
Run Xde.exe as administrator (you will get an error)
Run visual studio and try to open emulator by deploy a project.
I don't know witch one fixed the problem but the problem goes away.
I uninstalled Oracle Virtual Box and Windows Phone Emulator works fine now, thanks.
I create new default project Window Phone, then run it with Emulator Window Phone but it's not work however emulator started.
I use Window 8.1 64bit with Visual Studio Professional 2013 - Update 4
Error say:
Error 1 DEP6100 : The following unexpected error occurred during boostrapping stage 'Connecting to the device': SmartDeviceException - A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond
Error 2 DEP6200 : Boostrapping 'Emulator 8.1 WVGA 4 inch 512MB' failed. Device cannot be found. A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond.
Help me Thanks !
Did you try all these steps?
Closing Visual Studio
Going to the "Control Panel"
Selecting "Programs and Features"
Find "Windows Phone 8.1 Emulators - ENU" in the list
Click the "Change" button at the top or right-click and select "Change"
On the "Visual Studio" window that appears; select "Repair"
Wait for the process to complete, and re-open Visual Studio
Run the emulator again

I had this same error... I'll start by saying that reloading Visual Studio 2013 and Windows Phone SDK 8.0 did not fix my issue. What did correct my issue was creating a blank project within the Visual Studio Express 2012 for Windows Phone and deploying the project. Then I went into Visual Studio 2013 and tried deploying my project again and voila, it worked. Why, I have no idea. My guess is there is a file or configuration that is set up by VS Express for WP.
For error DEP6100 on Windows 10 Emulators 10.0.1.0 (1081p 2gb)
You should Delete all (VHD and AVHD) files in:
C:\Users\MyUserName\AppData\Local\Microsoft\XDE\10.0.1.0\
All will be recreated when the emulator will restart. Replace MyUserName by you user name.
Should work with other emulators (you could check your local Hyper-V to find the right path)
See you :)
I had your same problem and after many attempts resolved it this way:
Deactivate Hyper-V (and restart computer).
Go in the Device Manager and open the Network Adapters, here uninstall everything with the name "Hyper-V...", this will allow us to reactivate Hyper-V without any conflict.
Activate Hyper-V (and restart computer).
I build an easy App in visual studio 2013, creating it through the windows phone project. The main thing is that it's supposed to fetch data from a API of my choice and write to an XML- document. It worked code-wise but depending on what network I was using(Wireless), It gave me either and error or it worked. It worked if I compiled with my phone as the network supplier, but not on my wireless at home or the schools network.
The error I recived everytime was "the thread has exited with code 259"
I googled for some solutions, and I guessed (Not really sure it was the answer I was looking for) that the error was due because of the phone emulator "takes" my PC's IP adress or network.
They told me to just remove my phone emulator on Hyper-V manager and then just re-start my emulation and it should work.
After this was done, all hell broke lose, cause now, visual studio can't even connect to the emulator.It creates a new phone emulator in hyper-v, but can't connect to it. When I try to compile the app I created it says "Trying to connect to "WVGA 512MB" or if I choose another "WVGA 720". It does this for about 3-5 min and then it says "An error occured. Would you like to continue?"
Now I have no idea what to do. I've googled for almost 2 days and I am at lost. I've un-installed, re-installed, repaired all my visual studio but nothing helps. I am using visual studio premium 2013 if that helps..
I guess this is due to the network issues, as you said the emulator takes the default PC's IP address. But normally after removing the emulator from the Hyper-V Manager and when you try to restart it, it should work.
If none of them works try removing all the Virtual Switches from your Virtual Switch Manager which is within the Hyper-V Manager. Then create a new Internal type of a Virtual Switch and restart your machine. Then try launching the emulator.

I am running visual studio 2013 with windows 8.1 pro , I have enabled hyper-v from bios and enable it from program and features also. Firstly when I run my project it gives message like this
after that when I clicked retry it gives this deployment error
Need help in solving this.
Try running visual studio 2013 as an administrator this sometimes helps fix the permission issue running the emulator the first time.
After checking in that textbox where you have to add your lap to the Hyper-V Administrators, just try restarting the machine.
Have a look over here
You should try out these too
1.Run VS 2012 as administrator.
2.Open Hyper-V Manager and check the Windows Phone Emulator Internal Switch from Virtual Switch Manager. Remove the emulator switch and start a new instance of the emulator.
3.If your host computer has a WLAN connection, you should check whether it is running fine or not.
4.If your host computer is in a dedicated network, you can do a wired tethering and create a peer to peer network with another computer. Enable unrestricted internet in one of the systems, share the connection with the other computer, the emulator running in that, will also get the shared internet.
