Hi @i3akef,
I have recently updated all of my machines to Win10, but I used Win 8.1 for a very long time. Double-check that you have the latest tools installed: Update 2 for Visual Studio, Unity and UWP Runtime (step 2 on Unity's site). Then, make sure that you have the correct build settings in Unity and VS. Are you trying to deploy to 'Device' (via USB?) or using 'Remote Machine'? If deploying via network, make sure that you have paired your PC to the HoloLens.5

Thanks for your reply , sorry I was frustrated so I did not explain well
, I was trying to deploy to the emulator , the emulator needs hyper V which is only available on Pro versions on windows , now it appears that the emulator does not work well with Windows 8.1 Pro , but anyway we just upgraded to Windows 10 Pro 
and the emulator works just fine
Thanks
