Windows 8 x64 crash while loading wp7 emulator

Question

I am developing on a Windows 7 phone and I don’t have a device, so I need to use an emulator to try the application. In Windows 7, I have no problem working, but now I go to windows 8, and when I run the emulator, the system crashes and give me a blue screen. I tried compatibility mode, but nothing changes!

How can I use the emulator under Windows 8 x64 to preview the developer?

Answer 1

The Windows Phone SDK is not supported on Windows 8. There is no official way around this.

Answer 2

Running it in compatibility mode with Windows 7 works for me.

Answer 3

This is not related to Windows 8, the emulator also crashes Windows 7 if VT is enabled in the BIOS. Unplug it and it will work.

Answer 4

try the following Rename all * .dess files in the% systemdrive% \ programdata \ Microsoft \ XDE folder and restart the emulator. he should work.
