Exact error:

Severity Code Description Project File Line Suppression State Error DEP0001 : Unexpected Error: -1988945906 TestApp

What does it mean? It seems it isn't problem with application, it works OK on PC.

Version of OS: 1511, Windows 10 for phones 10.0.10586.164

I've experienced the same problem after updating Visual Studio community to Update 2. Typing in CMD (under admin rights) the following command solved my issue:

net start IpOverUsbSvc

Thanks to Agrgg for a good tip ;)
