January 2017 Now I do appreciate that running prerelease software comes with some risk and I’m also aware that emulators are hard to get working 100% right on every machine. Ever since I can remember there have been connectivity issues with Windows Mobile, Windows Phone and now Windows 10 Mobile emulators; whether connectivity meaning to the internet, the local machine or being able to debug an application.

May 12, 2017 - I'm using Visual Studio for Mac, creating Android apps using Xamarin. Logitech mx master 2s wireless mouse with cross-computer control for mac and windows, midnight teal. Whatever I do, VS seems to start a 'default' emulator. But I wan't it to use.

So, it came as no surprise that after rebuilding my computer and installing Visual Studio 2017 RC that my installation of the Visual Studio Android Emulator was semi-broken. Turns out I had two issues I needed to overcome. When I attempted to launch the emulator, I got the following notice, saying that the Internet Connection needs to be configured – this is pretty typical for first run as Hyper-V needs to setup the virtual switches that the emulator image will use. After clicking Yes, the emulator is launched and my application is deployed. Unfortunately when Visual Studio attempts to launch the application and attach the debugger, the application closes immediately.
