I have created a new App (Xamarin.Forms Portable) project in Visual Studio 2015.
When I try to run Droid project in Visual Studio Emulator for Android, I just get a generic error message:
Could not launch 'VS Emulator 5" KitKat (4.4) XXHDPI Phone' device.
Exit code 10
The Logs message is

Best Answer
Are you running the emulator in a physical machines? I have similar issues but in nested vms.
Did you check if the hyper-v manager is running properly? Try to open it and start the vms manually and check what is the outcome.
Also, it is really important that you can see the properties in the virtual switch. Most of the problems with hyper-v are due to bad configuration in the virtual switch.
