A deployment error in Xamarin.Forms UWP when deploying from a PC to itself

When I just installed a Visual Studio 2017 and created my Xamarin.Forms application, it ran fine on my Windows 10 PC. However, I then installed some apps from Steam (which is the only thing I can think of that could change system settings). After that, when I try to create another Xamarin.Forms project, it does not deploy well to my machine and gives the following error:

DEP6200: Bootstrapping failed. Device cannot be found.
SmartDeviceException - Deployment failed because no
device was detected. Make sure a device is connected
and powered on. [0x80131500]

Strangely enough, my first app continues to build and run fine, even if I uninstall it from Windows and then deploy it again.

What could be the issue?

I have just noticed that Visual Studio makes ARM the default architecture. Changing it to "Any CPU" brought back the option to run the app on my machine.
