Microsoft Edge on Windows 10 Virtual Machine download link not working - virtual-machine

I have been trying to download the MS Edge on Win 10 virtual machine from the dev.modern.ie website and I'm getting the same message in all the browsers:
ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED
My windows firewall is deactivated and I'm not using a proxy for my LAN, I have also tried cleaning all my browsing data but still getting the same error.
I really need to test a website i'm working with in Edge, is there a mirror or another link to download the virtual machines?

I was unable to reproduce the issue you're reporting when I initiated Microsoft Edge downloads for HyperV 2012, VirtualBox, and VMWare. This may have been a temporary issue that has since been resolved — please try again and let us know if the problem persists.
You can also test EdgeHTML (the rendering engine behind Microsoft Edge) by streaming RemoteIE to your Mac, PC, or Android/iOS device. While the shell of the browser will be Internet Explorer, the actual internals will be EdgeHTML: https://remote.modern.ie.
If you encounter further issues, please do not hesitate to remote them directly to me either here on Stack Overflow, or via Twitter.

Remote development (from PhpStorm with JetBrains Gateway) without internet possible?

Here is my working context;
no internet (I use my company's intranet)
Linux CentOS 7.9 remote server with my source files
PhpStorm 2021.3.2 on my development PC
My wish is to develop on my PC on remote sources. Your new JetBrains Gateway solution seems to meet my expectations on paper.
However, in practice, I have the impression that it is not possible to use this solution without internet ? Indeed, the connection process stops on this failure:
Looks like your solution is trying to download an IDE client to install on my machine. Which from my point of view is a weird behavior because I already have a client to install on my machine: PhpStorm. Why not use my PhpStorm client already installed on my machine ?
Thank you for your reply
The "Jetbrains Client" mentioned in the error message is not for your local machine, but for the Linux server:
Once the IDE version and project directory are selected, Gateway will download the IDE to the remote server, unpack it, and launch it with your project loaded.
It acts on the remote server as a "backend IDE" to which the client on your local machine connects:
The JetBrains Client runs locally and provides the user interface for the IDE backend.
You would not even require the full PHPStorm IDE, the Jetbrains Gateway is a standalone app that comes with a "thin client" that can connect to the backend IDE:
This whole process is managed by JetBrains Gateway, a new, compact, standalone app that provides everything you need to get started with remote development. Since it’s standalone, it’s the only thing you need to install locally to start working and is ideal for less powerful laptops and in cases where a full IDE install isn’t desired.
See https://blog.jetbrains.com/blog/2021/12/03/dive-into-jetbrains-gateway/ for a more detailed look at how it works.
To answer your question: it is not possible to use Jetbrains Gateway without an internet connection.

HoloLens device portal not available

When connecting HoloLens via USB to my computer, the device portal is still not available after setting it up as explained in the install tools page.
All I get in the browser 127.0.0.1:10080 is the generic "unable to connect" page.
Is there any way to know what is failing? What could I check? Any tip will be appreciated!
EDIT: browsers used: Edge, Firefox and Chrome.
EDIT2: Hololens development mode is on.
Connecting over USB requires the PC be running IPoverUSB, which is installed with the Windows 10 SDK. You can verify that it's running by checking the Services tab of Task Manager for IpOverUsbSvc.
FYI, another resolution to this issue may be the USB port you are using.
I initially was using a USB 3 port (which I've used to flash my HoloLens many times) and had the same issues.
On a whim, I switched to an older USB2 port and it's working perfectly now. SO try different USB ports if you are having this issue.

Hyper-v network driver not signed

I've recently moved a Virtual machine from a server to another one.
Both the servers are running Windows Server 2012 R2 as the guest host.
The generation 2 VM run almost perfectly, but it doesn't recognize the network adapter.
Integration services are updated (if I try to re-install it it says they are already updated and doesn't let me repair it).
On device manager I see the exclamation mark left to the adapter.
If I let it search for drivers in C:\Windows it says that the "Network adapter for Hyper-V" is found, but it isn't digitally signed, so it won't be installed.
Anyone could help me making this adapter work?
I couldn't figure out how to remove and re-install integration services either...
Ok, I found a solution.
I had to Disable Driver Signature Enforcement in the advanced boot options.

no internet on windows phone 8 emulator

I have installed windows phone 8 SDK and tried running a simple app which embeds a WebBrowser on a page. When I try to run the app in emulator the emulator does not get internet connection. It displays an error message saying "You don't have permission to modify internal Hyper-V network adapter settings required to run the emulator". Im sure my login has admin permissions. My machine is 64bit, hyper v is enabled and Hyper v manager is running, hardware virtualization is enabled in the BIOS settings, DHCP is enabled and its connected to a wired network. I have checked all the system requirements. What ever I do it keeps on giving the same error message. I setup everything in a different machine and tried running the app in that machine. The same error message is displayed in the that machine also. Can anyone tell me how to get it working.
DHCP is enabled and its connected to a wired network
Can you run ipconfig /all on your host machine and post it here please?
seems you have problem with your DHCP or maybe multiple DHCP and conflict.
You need to add your user account as a member of the "Hyper-V Administrators" group on the machine.
Detailed steps:
Hit Windows key + Q and search for "local users and groups". Change the search scope to "Settings". Click "Edit local users and groups".
Expand the "Groups" section. Right-click on "Hyper-V Administrators" and select "Add to group".
Add your user account.
Some connection tools on the host can have negative effects when used with the emulator; I found having cisco VPN client installed on the host prevented the emulator from finding the internet. Other VPN clients may have similar side-effects. I simply uninstalled cisco (the inbuilt windows VPN is fine for what I need) and it worked perfectly.
I've also seen problems where it won't find the internet after the host has been suspended / resumed. In that scenario, it turned out to be bad network drivers. I installed a dedicated Intel NIC (rather than the on-board NIC on the motherboard) - problem solved.
Basically, Hyper-V is a bit fussy.
try refreshing the hyper-v by unchecking and then checking it again,this worked for me.
Steps:
1.control panel>>programs>>Programs and features>>turn windows features on and off>>hyper-v
2.uncheck it and restart the pc.
3.again go to control panel an check hyper-v and restart the pc again.
the try to run the emulator,should work..
another possible reason is that you did not start vs2013 as admin

ultimate virtual solution for testing <=IE8 browsers

I need to know of a solution to run a local test server through a virtual guest. I am able to use Virtual PC as well as most the other solutions. My current workaround is to deploy to Tomcat on Windows 7 and test the main current browsers there. I am also able to mount share my Tomcat instance to Ubuntu so am able to run the same app without redeploying.
Currently I just invested on a Windows upgrade to be able to try out Microsofts ie8 and down VHDs but the best I am able to do with this is deploy to production server and then run the ie6, ie7 and ie8 browsers which is very time consuming.
Any suggestions or pointers for me? Ultimately a working solution to run these VHds or browsers in VirtualBox would be ideal for me, as I am familiar with it.
Related to my question I have come across some useful tutorials that may help others who find this question:
Virtual PC solution for legacy IE browsers in Windows 7
VmWare solution
You can just use one Windows version (XP, Win7 will be fine) and install IETester:
http://www.my-debugbar.com/wiki/IETester/HomePage
My solution is as follows & will only work with upgraded Windows 7 (not home premium).
Uninstall IE9 update to bring back IE8, IE9 seems to support css3 well, so testing in FF7 should be good enough for IE9.
Then follow this tutorial and repeat the process for as many virtual browsers you want. Note
I did include IE8 but don't use it as it's slower to run a virtual PC than native IE8 just in case I wish to reinstall IE9.
I use quirks mode in IE8 to test for IE7 and IE6 can go to Davy Jones Locker :D
When using xpmode, you must copy the xp disk each time without any updates and start process from scratch.
I also use VirtualBox to test Linux browsers as it's faster than Virtual PC and I share test server (Tomcat) so am able to run same instance without redeploying.
Hope this helps...
