Can't Deploy App to HoloLens (DEP6957)

Hi,
I recently updated my HoloLens and Visual Studio and now and I can't deploy apps to the HoloLens anymore. Every time I try to deploy I get a DEP6957 error. I'm just using the HoloLens 101 Origami project as a test. My current setup is:
- HoloLens: 14393.0.x86fre.rs1_release.160715-1616
- Visual Studio: 14.0.25425.01 Update 3
- Windows SDK: 10.0.14393.33 (I also have 10.1.10586.212 and 10.0.26624 installed)
- Unity for HoloLens: 5.4.0f1-HTP
- Developing on WIndows 8.1 Enterprise
- Verified that my Windows 8.1 Developer License is up to date by running the Show-WindowsDeveloperLicenseRegistration PowerShell command
- I can connect to the developer portal on the HoloLens without any problems
- I have MaxVersionTested set to 10.0.14393.0 in my Package.appxmanifest
- I've tried deploying over both WiFi and and USB and both fail in the same manner
- I've tried resetting VS, HoloLens, and my PC
- I tried unpairing all devices from the HoloLens and my VS isn't prompting me to enter a PIN when deploying so that seems odd
- I've checked the "Uninstall and then re-install my package" check box in the project debug settings

Quick Update: I just installed the HoloToolkit for Unity and then used it's build tools to compile and deploy an app and that worked successfully! Seems like there is a bug in the Visual Studio/HoloLens connection, but the Unity HoloToolkit leverages the developer portal to connect to the HoloLens and install the app that way (which seems to work fine).
Thanks to all of the developers working on the HoloToolkit!!

Hi @sweber,
We've had one other user report this issue. They also developing on a Windows 8.1 machine. If possible, I would suggest upgrading to Windows 10.

Hi @ahillier,
I did see that suggestion, I was just hoping to avoid doing that upgrade, but it seems like that would be the next best step. I just tried uninstalling the other two versions of the Windows SDK that I had installed (10.1.10586.212 and 10.0.26624) and I re-installed the most recent version (10.0.14393.33), but that didn't fix anything.
I'll try upgrading to Windows 10 when I have some time and post the results here. If anyone else has some other suggestions in the meantime I'd be more than happy to try something else.

@sweber, that's great news!
