But it is not visible in VS like below figure,

Please help me to solve this issue.
Thanks in advance,

@astrani_saipriya ,

You've probably already tried this but:

1) check your control panel | Programs and Features | Turn Features on or off -> and make sure Hyper-V is checked and turned completely on.

2) reboot. rebooting solves HoloLens dev install issues 80% of the time.

Good luck!

There are several possibilities:

For testing if it's installed you should go to and test that this exist:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\Emulation\HoloLens\10.0.11082.1039\flash.vhd and this
C:\Users\yourUsernam\AppData\Local\Microsoft\XDE\10.0.11082.1039\dd.1268x720.2048.vhd
Some time temp files are making errors in the installation.

If it installed try to uninstall windows hololens emulation image and hololens emulator.

Check that your hyper-v is well configured.

I had the same error twice ( one because I join windows insider and with last release there are some incompatibilities). The first time I have restored my computer to an older time. The second time I have deleted restored all my computer and install everything again with the steps described in this link step by step.

Hope it helps

Just a sanity check, but make sure that the Universal project is selected too.

@astrani_saipriya ,

It looks like you just opened up a Universal Windows app project. This usually works but every so often I have problems with this, too.

Try building a unity application (like the tutorial apps) and deploying as a UWP solution, then running that UWP solution in the emulator.

[P.S. you can also try reinstalling the emulator and see what happens.]
