I updated windows recently.I also updated xamarin studio 6.1.1 and now not able to initialize the device. Everything was working perfectly before updates. I keep getting error: failed to initialize device. VBoxManage command failed.See log for further details. As I read on other threads, I was trying to open virtual boxmanager window and delete device. I was not able to open virtual boxmanager window. so uninstalled virtual box, installed new version. then uninstalled xap and reinstalled. still getting error. Which log should I check for details.? checked VT-x in the BIOS. it is enabed. Not able to open virtual boxmanager. Also tried diabling and enabling virtualbox NDIS6 bridged networking driver.

  • XAP is no longer supported. It's recommended to either use the VS.NET Emulator or the Android x86 one – Jason Oct 07 '16 at 17:20
  • since when is it not supported? I remember I used it a week ago. Does VS.NET Emulator or the Android x86 will work well and fast with xamarin studio? – user1744582 Oct 07 '16 at 18:36
  • for whatever reason they didn't make a big announcement, but it hasn't been updated in almost a year. The new x86 emulator from Google is actually pretty good. – Jason Oct 07 '16 at 18:46
  • oh. Thank you very much Jason for the updates. I'll try google emultor. – user1744582 Oct 08 '16 at 15:17
  • I tried using google emulator. but it takes so much time to launch. Anything to do with configuration? – user1744582 Oct 08 '16 at 15:45
