Hello everyone.

The Mixed Reality Forums here are no longer being used or maintained.

There are a few other places we would like to direct you to for support, both from Microsoft and from the community.

The first way we want to connect with you is our mixed reality developer program, which you can sign up for at https://aka.ms/IWantMR.

For technical questions, please use Stack Overflow, and tag your questions using either hololens or windows-mixed-reality.

If you want to join in discussions, please do so in the HoloDevelopers Slack, which you can join by going to https://aka.ms/holodevelopers, or in our Microsoft Tech Communities forums at https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/mixed-reality/ct-p/MicrosoftMixedReality.

And always feel free to hit us up on Twitter @MxdRealityDev.

    I'm not 100% sure if this will work, however you could theoretically.

    You'd first have to merge the two differencing disks (VHD's) together (
    "C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\Emulation\HoloLens\10.0.11082.1039\flash.vhd" and "C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Local\Microsoft\XDE\10.0.11082.1039\dd.1268x720.2048.vhd" ) and then convert it to a vmdk file. Next you'd have to configure VMWare to use the same settings: /Video 1268x720 /Ram 2GB

    You'd loose the Xaml XDE rendering UI, and the XDE Tools that give you the input capabilities, rotations, Device portal, monitoring and etc, but you'd theoretically have a functioning image you could deploy to.

  • Reverse polarity shift just wanted to thank everyone
  • Using VMWare Fusion 8.1.1, I was able to set the OS type to Hyper-V, enable support within Windows, and successfully run the HoloLens Emulator inside the VM. Here are the full instructions.
