Answer 1

I noted that in my Device Manager I had a warning against Network adapters / "Hyper-V Virtual Switch Extension Adapter".

My resolution was to use Hyper V manager to remove the "Windows Phone Emulator Internal Switch":

1...Launch Hyper V Manager 2...Virtual Switch Manager 3...Under Virtual Switches list, select "Windows Phone Emulator Internal Switch" and click Remove 4...Refer back to Device Manager - the "Hyper-V Virtual Switch Extension Adapter" warning will have been removed 5...Create a new Virtual network switch (Internal), using the same name 6...You then need to open the Settings for each emulator and reconnect it's Network Adapter to the newly created internal switch 7...I also ran the Emulator repair (Control Panel / Program Features / right click Windows Phone 8.1 Emulators - ENU / Change / Repair) - not sure if this had any bearing on the fix 9...I then launched VS2013 and emulator now worked
