Windows Phone Emulator is doing a complete OS boot…

If this starts happening whenever you launch the Windows Phone emulator

Can I suggest following the advice from Eric Fleck on this thread.

• Delete the emulator saved state files (C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\XDE)
• Reinstall the January Update
  • Open an elevated command prompt
  • Execute msiexec /update WindowsPhoneDeveloperResources_en-US_Patch1.msp

 

That fixed it for me.

  When that happened to me, I just reinstalled the Windows Phone tools from Programs and Features in the control panel and it was fixed. Just reinstalling the update is probably a lot faster though :)
