Cannot debug on Windows 10 Phone (build 10572)

Question

I'm trying to debug a Universal Windows 10 app on my Windows 10 Phone, but it keeps giving me this error:

1>------ Deploy started: Project: PasswordsUniversal, Configuration: Debug     ARM ------
1>Error : DEP6100 : The following unexpected error occurred during  bootstrapping stage 'Connecting to the device '3334F9-6231E-310b-A221-7B036E23D4A4E'.': 
1>SEHException - External component has thrown an exception.
1>Error : DEP6200 : Bootstrapping 'Device' failed. Device cannot be found. 
========== Deploy: 0 succeeded, 1 failed, 0 skipped ==========

I already uninstalled the phone from my computer, and I restarted both devices. What else can I do? Thanks in advance.

You need to enable Developer Mode in Settings->Update & Security->For developers on your phone.

By the way, I found a very similar question to this one on a MSDN forum: https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/de-DE/3f1a4a71-f402-44e9-b18e-f6b2e41796d0/uwpdeployment-fails-on-phone-build-10572?forum=wpdevelop – Alvaro VS Oct 22 '15 at 15:00

I finally discovered the root of the problem: I am using Windows 10 Mobile Insider Preview, so I have the latests patches for my cell phone, and I wasn't using the latest SDK. Make sure to have the latest version of the SDK when using the Insider Preview.
