Windows Phone 8 Emulator not launching. Error code 0x80131500

Question

I have problem with Visual Studio 2012 (OS: Windows 8.1 Preview)

Create empty project (Windows Phone App)
Press F5 to start debugging.

And I get 0x80131500 error code, with no detailed description. Only this: Deployment of application to device failed.

Output:

1>------ Deploy started: Project: PhoneApp1, Configuration: Debug Any CPU ------
1>Deploying C:\Visual Studio 2012\Projects\PhoneApp1\PhoneApp1\Bin\Debu\PhoneApp2.xap...
1>Connecting to Emulator WVGA 512MB...
1>Deployment of application to device failed.
1>0x80131500

Has anyone encountered such a problem. How it can be solved?

@JibranKhan, actually - No. I can't find it in application list. Where it should be? — alunyov, Jul 05 '13 at 11:53

Windows 8.1 Preview does not support the Windows Phone 8 sdk to run on the Visual Studio 2012. You cannot run Emulator as well so better you should use a stable Windows 8 version for WP8 development. This is the statement right from Microsoft Support

After you upgrade your OS to Windows 8.1 Preview, you cannot run Windows Phone 8 Software Development Kit (SDK) emulator (XDE.exe) in Microsoft Visual Studio 2012

That's why I hate Microsoft – M.Kumaran Jun 04 '14 at 04:58
@AshishJain, the solution is to install the stable version of Windows to have all features working. – Jibran Khan Jun 04 '14 at 14:05

In my case, updating Windows Phone SDK and VS Express 2012 helped on Windows 8.1, but performance is poor. If it's helpful try installing update to VS:

And updating SDK:

I found this is the key thing to check, as per (WP8) Emulator (XDE) Troubleshooting Tips on msdn:

Launch the “Network Connections” manager (from the home screen, type in “View Network Connections”, It will be listed under Settings)
Right click on the adapter named: “vEthernet (Internal Ethernet Port Windows Phone Emulator Internal Switch)”
For that adapter, the only items that should be checked under “This connection uses the following items:” should be:
- Client for Microsoft Networks
- QoS Packet Scheduler
- File and Printer Sharing for Microsoft Networks
- Microsoft LLDP Protocol Driver
- Link-Layer Topology Discovery Mapper I/O Driver
- Link-Layer Topology Discovery Responder
- Internet Protocol Version 6 (TCP/IPv6)
- Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4)
All other items should be unchecked.

I installed Windows Phone 8 SDK. Emulator didn't work because Hyper-V was not turned on. I installed Hyper-V from Programs & Features and got the 0x80131500 error.

Visual Studio 2012 Update 4 fixed the issue.

Try out these steps if using VS 2012 with Windows 8.1 Pro:

Uninstall Hyper-V
Reboot
Install Hyper-V
Reboot

This should help.
