Mixed Reality Simulator is evil

HI,

I followed the instructions here, in order to set up the Mixed Reality Simulator on my Windows 10 machine (Enterprise, 64 bit, Build 15063.447) and right after turning on the simulation toggle (thus step 6), Windows went nuts. The desktop started flickering in < 1 Hz, as Windows was apparently trying to restart explorer.exe over and over again. I could do nothing anymore as no window kept focus, I even tried several fixes I found online (this flickering desktop issue seems to be quite frequent, although the cause is different), e.g. disabling Windows Error Reporting, I failed doing that, and ultimately I had to use a system restore point to fix this. I did this twice now, flipping this simulation toggle definitely destroys my explorer. Here are the Windows Event Logs I get over and over again:

    This here did the trick, wasn't aware of the option:

    opt-in to Windows Insider Preview FAST Flights.

    May be a good idea to add this to the documentation. Thanks!
