Cannot launch Visual Studio Emulators (both Android and Windows Phone) - Says cannot verify digital signature

I'm unable to launch both the visual studio emulator for android and the window phone 8 emulator. I'm using VS2015 CTP 6.

Windows Phone Emulator is unable to set the VHD on the virtual machine:

I'm not sure whether it had to do with hyper-v or not. I did a report on the visual studio installation and got the same result.

This is a known issue on Windows 10, it has to do with the folder structure of the Android emulator that conflicts with the WP emulator. The "workaround" was that you can only have one installed at a time

However, you're in luck, as Microsoft has published an updated version of the Android emulator that will work side by side. Download it form here:
