The Windows Phone Emulator wasn't able to create virtual machine:
Couldn't change Processor of the virtual machine: 'Emulator WVGA 512.User' failed to modify device 'Processor'. (virtual machine ID XXX)
Cannot assign the specified number of processor for virtual machine 'Emulator WVGA 512.user' is out of range. The range is 1 through 1 ( virtual machine ID XXX)
I got this message when running the Emulator
I am using my Windows 8 on mac os with Parallels Desktop 8 for Mac
I did nested virtual machine ,,
I did enable the hypervisor but it does solve the problem..
Any suggestions ??
Thanks
The solution to my problem was to change the CPU number from 1 to 2.
Shut down Windows 8 on Parallels Desktop 8.
From Parallels > Configure menu > General tab > CPU : 2
Another solution here is that you change the virtual processors count to 1 on the Hyper-V Manager. Windows Phone 8 Emulator is configured for dual core processors, but it does also run on single core. And it is even more stable than it's dual core configuration in virtual environments.
This is the official Parallels knowledge base post: KB Parallels - 115211

I am using windows 10 and Visual Studio Community 2015.. My question is The app I am making cannot be debugged, its says that My Windows 10 does not support the emulator, so I need to register my phone to debug the app.
However, I am developing on windows 10 and creating a windows 8.1 phone app. I have changed the laptop into Developer Mode, and I still cannot figure out how to register the phone.
My laptop specs are:
Windows 10 Home
500 GB
4 GB RAM
Intel Pentium N3540 Processor
64 bit OS
My Phone specs are:
Windows 8.1 Pro update 2
Lumia 640 LTE
So if the emulator is not supported in windows 10, then how do I register my phone. There has to be away to debug the app.
Update:
Hyper-V Requirements:
VM Monitor Mode Extensions: Yes
Virtualization Enabled In Firmware: No
Second Level Address Translation: Yes
Data Execution Prevention Available: Yes
In order for the hyper-v to work on win10, you must enable it through the BIOS.. Once its enabled then you can install the emulator...
I have installed Win 8.1 Pro 64 Bit in virtual box as Guest OS with Win 7 Ultimate 64 bit as Host OS. My device supports Virtualization, config is as follows:
Intel Core i7 3610QM (III Gen)
8 GB RAM
Though Coreinfo shows that virtualization is supported by my Host OS & also in Virtual Box but in Guest OS(Win 8.1) error is being shown that Virtualization is not supported.
Kindly refer to image :

Kindly provide me a solution to overcome this issue or any other way to run emulator. Are there any emulator like Genymotion or Bluestacks for Windows Phone.
The problem was solved by using VMWare instead of Virtual Box. It is not possible to do using Virtual Box as suggested by #FoggyDay https://forums.virtualbox.org/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=55070
I have created a vmware of windows 8.1 in order to develop a wp8 app.
My pc specs :
i7 2670 (2.2)
8 gb ram
win 7 64
My VMware Player spec:
60 gb hdd
4 gb ram
I have installed in the VMware Player visual studio 2012 update 4, and all the wp stuff.
When i am trying to build my project i am getting this error:
emulator Cannot assign the specified number
of processor for virtual machine is out of range
I have searched on the internet but all links i have found refereed to parallels. Nothing helpful for VMware .
I have read this article. I have enabled hyper-v, but i am not sure if VMware can support hardware virtualization, which i think is needed.
My question are 2:
Is these any possible solution to this problem?
If i got a device and try to debug on device i suppose that i will not have any problem. Am i suppose well?
I will appreciate any help.
Thx for your time.
VMWare Player v6. You need to tick Virtualize Intel VT-x/EPT or AMD-V/RIV in virtual machine configuration for WP emulator running.
As per the comments on your question, I'll explain:
You can perform Windows Phone 8.x development on Windows 7 or later provided you have a physical device, however if you want to use the Windows Phone 8.x emulators then you need to have Hyper-V available, this is because the WP8 emulators run as Hyper-V virtual-machines, side-by-side with your main operating system.
Therefore, to use the WP8 emulators you must be running Windows 8 Pro, Windows 8 Enterprise or Windows Server 2012 (or later, e.g. Windows 8.1 Pro). The standard "Home edition" of Windows 8 does not include Hyper-V. Read up about Client Hyper-V on TechNet.
Hyper-V requires hardware virtualisation and, as an accelerated platform with hardware requirements, will not run within another virtualiser (this is in contrast to how you can run VirtualBox or VirtualPC under Hyper-V). You must be running Windows 8 Pro as your "root" operating system.
You actually also need to edit the .vmx file in VMWare Player in order for Hyper-V to be available to the Windows Phone emulator.
Give your VM >= 4GB RAM, 2+ processors, then open the .vmx file for the VM and add:
hypervisor.cpuid.v0 = “FALSE”
Then save, start the VM, and install Windows.
I'll also point out that this works flawlessly on my MacBook Pro Retina running a Hyper-V capable Windows distribution inside of Parallels and Visual Studio 2013 CE.
I download the Windows 8.1 / IE 11 VM from modern.ie, start it in VMPlayer and want to install the Visual Studio 2013 Preview. The installer does not offer to optionally also install the Windows Phone SDK 8.
I thought the reason might be the Phone Emulators need Hyper-V.
I changed the VM Operating system type from Windows 8 to Hyper-v and checked the Box "Virtualize Intel ..." in the Processor Settings.
When I call systeminfo on the command line in the Virtual Windows 8.1 it reads:
VM Monitor Mode Extensions: Yes
Virtualizaion Enabled in Firmware: Yes
Second Level Address Translation: Yes
Data Execution Prevention Available: Yes
Is it possible to run the Phone SDK in a virtual Windows 8.1?
I have no idea what the installer is checking before offering (or not) to install the Phone SDK. That Virtualization might be the issue is only a guess.
Sort of. You can install the SDK separately if you don't install the emulator, but you cannot run the emulator because you're already in a Hyper-V VM, Inception VMs are not allowed. Hopefully MS will let you connect from VS to a sibling VM someday.
It turned out, the problem was not the virtualization.
The VM I started to work with was a 32 bit Installation of Windows 8.1 Preview. Since the Stand alone Phone SDK could only be installed on an 64 bit system, I setup an own VM with the Windows 8.1 64 bit preview and tried again. When I installed the VS 2013 ultimate preview it was possible to check the Phone SDK.
Hyper-V was activated when the VS installation finished.
The VM's operating system is set to Windows 8 64 bit
After installing Visual Studio 2012 express for Windows Phone 8 on my machine along with the SDK I notice that I do not have the option to Debug to a Windows Phone 8 Emulator ?
Any specific workaround or fixes to resolve this would be helpful?
My Bad, the PC I am using does not support Hardware Virtualization.
I installed multiple times and finally noticed this message at Launch time.
This Computer does not support hardware virtualization, which means Windows Phone Emulator 8.0 can't run on this PC.
If others run into this, here is what I found out.
My Intel Core 2 Duo T9550, don't support SLAT, which is needed to enable Hyper-V, which is again needed to run the WP8 emulator...sigh...
You can run this Coreinfo tool to see what your CPU supports. Follow the guidance here:

The Windows Phone 7.1 SDK emulator works fine on my machine btw.
The Windows Phone 8 Emulator runs in Hyper-V.
Hyper-V requires a processor that supports SLAT (Second Level Address Translation).
List of SLALT (EPT) Intel CPUs: http://ark.intel.com/Products/VirtualizationTechnology
So any Core2Duo does not Support Hyper-V :/
