I have unchecked fast deployment in the visual studio iDE for Android properties. I bumped the vm up to 10 gig and 4 processors, still no luck. (In Windows, you’ll need to edit the c:\program files (x86)\Microsoft XDE\0.0\skus\android\xdesku.xml file and remove the following line from the file: GuestDisplayProvider=”VsEmulator.OpenGLGuestDisplay”) The resolution in that post was to remove a line in the xdesku.xml file Here is a similar post as to what is happening to me… I can stop the build / deployment and Visual Studio is responsive. After a while if I click on the emulator to view the apps, i get a black screen in the emulator. However, Visual Studio just hangs and never seems to actually install the app onto the emulator. The emulator starts up and seems functional. I try to run it on any of the Visual Studio Android emulators and none seem to work. I create a brand new project using the Xamarin Forms template. I've installed VS2017 15.7 on a VMware Fusion (latest version) running Windows 10 (latest version, latest updates) with virtual Hyper-V enabled. Has anyone got the VS emulator for Android working in any VM?
