Windows (phone) emulator 8.1/10 stuck at loading the OS

Question

I\'ve been trying to get the emulator to work for days. Previously I tried the Windows Phone 8.1 Emulator as well as the Windows 8.1 Simulator and both were stuck at loading

Answer 1

I know the question is old, but none of the above answers worked for me so I write down my two cents:

• Go to Hyper-V console and remove all emulators
• Go to Devices Management, under network adapters tree node, delete all virtual switches
• Run an emulator from Visual Studio and see the magic happen
