  1. Step1: Installed VisualStudio 2013 Express for Windows along with
    Update 2.
  2. Step2: Created a blank Windows Phone App.
  3. Step3: Deployed the app to the Emulator 8.1 WVGA 4 inch 512MB.

The Emulator Displays with the message 'Windows Phone is Starting'. Times out after about 5 minutes with the following error messages:

Error: DEP6100: The following unexpected error occurred during bootstrapping stage 'Connection to the device':

Error: DEP6200: Bootstrapping 'Emulator 8.1 WVGA 4 inch 512MB' failed. Device cannot be found. App deployment failed. Please try again.

Hyper-V Manager shows the phone emulator running when the app is deployed to the Phone Emulator.

Running my existing phone 8.0 apps with VisualStudio 2012 Professonal through the phone emulator stopped working after installing VisualStudio 2013 Express with Update 2. I get this error:

Windows Phone Emulator is unable to connect to the Windows Phone operating system: The phone did not respond to the connect request. Some functionality might be disabled.

Tried running as administrator and repairing VisualStudio 2013 Express with no effect of this problem.

Anyone having similar issues ?

I solved this problem just now. Please take all windows update. Reboot, and check again for any remaining update. This was a bug earlier as well so microsoft fixed it in first update of windows 8.1

Then check any remaining extension update for your visual studio 2013. update there as well.

Try opening a sample app, it should work.
