Answer 1

Finally after struggling all day, I solved it ^^ I post the solution here so that somebody don't have to waste time just like me to solve such a silly error!

1. Just simple disable Hyper-V option in Turn Windows features on or off (you could open this by hit the combination Windows + S, this will open the search box, then type "Turn Windows features on or off"
2. restart your PC
3. enable the Hyper-V option by using the same way as step 1.

Enjoy coding :D

Answer 2

CMD with admin rights:

bcdedit /set hypervisorlaunchtype auto

and reboot.

Answer 3

If the accepted answer doesn't work for you - as it unfortunately did not for me - also be sure to enable Data Execution Prevention (DEP) in your BIOS.

The article below outlines what BIOS settings to enable for Hyper-V: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/apps/jj863509%28v=vs.105%29.aspx

In my case, I had hardware-assisted virtualization enabled in the BIOS, but not data execution prevention (DEP). I also had Hyper-V enabled via Windows Features. After enabling DEP in the BIOS, I was able to run the Windows phone emulator.
