WinRT/C++ Minimum hardware requirements

I'm looking for a device that can be used to create a C++17 desktop program with the WinRT/C++ library (XAML Island), from typing code to compiling it in Visual Studio 2022. I'm also using the WinUI 2.8 prerelease (Microsoft.UI.Xaml.Controls), which might use up more resources. Usually, in one solution there are 2 projects, namely Win32 (App) and UWP (UI) projects. For a UWP project, usually there are about 10 WinRT/C++ Pages in it.
Therefore, what is the minimum hardware requirement that fits such a case, so that the programming process can run smoothly or even quickly? And also what about the target hardware requirements?
Note: sometimes Visual Studio 2022 and Microsoft Edge (2-3 tabs, AdBlocker extension) run at the same time.

Font Manager missing in Blend for Visual Studio 2015?

I'm trying to use a custom font (Roboto by Google) in a clients Windows Phone 8.1 (WinRT, not Silverlight) app. Following this tutorial I have included the .ttf and set the "Build Action" to "Content" - unfortunately, this does not work.
This answer suggests I should use the Font Manager in Blend to embed the font, unfortunately I can't seem to find that tool in the latest version (Blend for Visual Studio 2015). Has this feature been moved / removed?

Unable to use Windows Phone 10 Emulator

I have Visual Studio 2015 Enterprise installed on my Window 10 development machine. I can create a new Universal Windows Platform app and run it both in the simulator as well as on the local machine.
However, when I select any of the 5 pre-installed Mobile Emulators and start debugging, I see the emulator app (XDE.exe) being launched, but then I immediately get an error dialog with the following message:
The emulator is unable to set some properties on the virtual machine: Couldn't change Display controller settings of the virtual machine: .... The configuration version of the Mobile Emulator 10.0.10240.0 WVGA 4 inch ... virtual machine does not support setting resolution type, horizontal resolution or vertical resolution.
When I open the Hyper-V manager, I can see 3 virtual machines installed. I can even start them and they will eventually show the Windows Phone 10 home screen in the expected resolution and orientation.
This happens when running Visual Studio 2015 either as a regular user or as an administrator.
Make sure your computer has an internet connection, and
If the Tools for Universal Windows Apps Development are still installed:
Go to Programs and Features, select Visual Studio 2015, click Change.
In Visual Studio setup, click Modify.
Deselect the feature Tools for Universal Windows App Development.
Select Tools for Universal Windows App Development again, and click
Update.
If you have already uninstalled the Tools for Universal Windows Apps Development: Reinstall Tools for Universal Windows App Development.
Or, take the following steps to reinstall the JavaScript project system and language service:
Download the installer for your edition of Visual Studio, such as, vs_community.exe.
Open a command window, and run the following command:
vs_community.exe /modify /installselectableitems JavaScript_Hidden
/passive
Change directories to C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio
14.0\Common7\IDE
Run the following commands:
devenv /updateconfiguration
devenv /clearcache

Changing Screen Resolution in Visual Basic App

I have an application that needs to run at a particular screen resolution (240x320). I'm detecting screen resolution using Screen.PrimaryScreen.Bounds, but I have no idea how to change current resolution if it is needed. I'm working on Microsoft Visual Basic 2008 using Windows CE.
Cheers!
