The emulator is unable to verify that the virtual machine is running at VS2015

I have Unity for Hololen and VS2015 running at Windows 10 virtual machine. I have problems with running emulator on VS2015. Any tips how to make work?

The emulator is unable to verify that the virtual machine is running:
something happened while starting a virtual machine. Hololens Emuator failed to start.
The virtual machine management service failed to start the virtual machine Hololens Emuator.

    Do you mean you are running unity and Visual studio in a Win 10 virtual machine? Since the emulator itself is essentially a VM running in HyperV, you cannot run the emulator on a VM.
    If that's not the case, make sure that the HyperV service is up and running on your machine.

  • You need to be running Windows 10 Professional as described in https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/holographic/install_the_tools

    Having the same issue! Screenshot below for the error which I get on the emulator screen.

    Hyper-V has been enabled at the Windows level and the corresponding settings at the BIOS level as well...
    shall I expect to see something in Hyper-V manager.

    Any pointers on this will be highly appreciated, as it has become a show-stopper for us to proceed ahead with any kind of development on this.
