How to run the Windows Phone 10 Emulator? - windows-phone

I'm lost while searching how to start the Windows Phone 10 Emulator.
What I already did:
I downloaded the Emulator image and installed it (I know the location of the flash.vhd file)
I'm running Windows 8.1 x64 Professional. The Hyper-V service seems to be running. If I run coreinfo -v I get this output:
Coreinfo v3.31 - Dump information on system CPU and memory topology

Note: Coreinfo must be executed on a system without a hypervisor running for
accurate results.
Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-4770 CPU # 3.40GHz
Intel64 Family 6 Model 60 Stepping 3, GenuineIntel
Microcode signature: 0000001A
HYPERVISOR * Hypervisor is present
VMX - Supports Intel hardware-assisted virtualization
EPT - Supports Intel extended page tables (SLAT)
Here is my MachineSLATStatusCheck output:
You have a SLAT capable machine.
I guess that my computer meets the hardware requirements, but how do I start the emulator?
By the way I have only VS 2012 installed, but I don't want to upgrade it. I just need the emulator for now.

The emulator's executable is \Program Files (x86)\Microsoft XDE\xde.exe
Run it with /? to get help on the arguments.
Here's how (a slightly out of date) VS 2015 launches it for me (gleaned from procexp). Update this to your folders and options and it should launch the emulator from the command line:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft XDE\10.0.1.0\XDE.exe" /name "Emulator 10.0.1.0 WVGA 4 inch 512MB.rob" /displayName "Emulator 10.0.1.0 WVGA 4 inch 512MB" /vhd "C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\Emulation\Mobile\10.0.1.0\Flash.vhd" /video "480x854" /memsize 512 /diagonalSize 4 /language 409 /creatediffdisk "C:\Users\Rob\AppData\Local\Microsoft\XDE\10.0.1.0\dd.480x854.512.vhd" /snapshot /fastShutdown

My VS 2022 Windows Form app will not run on Windows Server 2012 R2

I'm not sure what's going on here, the app runs on my laptop outside the development environment but will not run on Windows Server 2012 R2, absolutely no errors are generated, just doesn't load the form. I used the latest version of Visual Studio 2022 to create the application, application settings are:
Output Type: Windows Application
Target Framework: .NET 6.0
Target OS: Windows
Target OS Version: 8.0
Supported OS Version: 7.0 (tried 8.0 as well)
Target CPU: x64
The are a lot of other settings I believe are not applicable so I don't list them here. The permissions on the server are set properly. When I delete the app.dll file, the exe complains it can't find it so I know at least the exe "should" run. I get no error messages, nothing in the logs. Any suggestions?

How to let CefSharp WinForms 32 bit run on Windows 64 bit?

I have downloaded the CefSharp 71.0.0-pre01 Source code from the official release, and built it successfully by VS 2015 on my Windows 7 Ultimate x64.
I have checked all x86 and x64 release build, and the project built all 22 items successfully includes the example exe.
The WinForm Example folder has 2 output in the bin, the x64 release can run well on my Win7 x64, but the x86 (32 bit) release doesn't work. Once I run the "CefSharp.WinForms.Example.exe", it shows
CefSharp.BrowserSubprocess has stopped working
When I click to check issue details, it shows:
Event Name: APPCRASH
Application Name: CefSharp.BrowserSubprocess.exe
But when I run the x86 release on the Win7 32bit machine, it works well.
I wanted to build an AnyCPU version but the project doesn't support AnyCPU, then I assumed the x86/32bit should work on both 64/32 machines. Is it possible to do that?
A case I've experienced is setting max_old_space_size to a large value which causes render subprocess to crash on startup when running in 32bit mode. Removing this option resolved the issue for me.

Computer crash while installing sdk emulators 8.1 windows phone

I tried many times to install windows phone sdk emulators 8.1, and it starts normally and at the end of installation my PC crashes. After I push the reset button the visual studio installation starts again and again my pc crashes....
I tried different links to download happens the same thing.
I tried to install the Visual Studio 2013 Ultimate and when starts to install the emulators the pc crashes again.
I have AMD FX 8350 8-core -64bit (4.2 GHz)
RAM 8 GB
Graphic Card AMD HD 6570 (latest drivers install)
OS Windows 8.1 Pro
I have installed the Visual Studio Express 2013.
Is this a problem from my pc specifications?
I don't think so there is a problem in your pc specification,but I will suggest you download web installer from dev.windowsphone.com and install the software,if it still crashes contact visual studio support.

Windows 64 bit Server vs x64 apps

I have the source code for a 32-bit dll (Windows) that I am trying to re-compile as a 64 bit dll. I have been told that the app "can compile in VC++ 64-bit mode to target AMD64 or Itanium processors running Windows 64 bit Server."
I am trying to decipher this: if it runs on Windows 64 bit server, should it also run on x64 bit Windows?
AMD64 and x64 and x86-64, and Intel64 and EM64T are essentially same thing, with different names.
