For some reason in the last month or so it’s taking FOREVER to connect to my Windows Phone 7 emulator. This used to take around 15-30 seconds but now it takes around 3 minutes. When I press F5 in VS 2010 it just seems to stop on the message “Connecting to Windows Phone 7 Emulator…”. But i can see the emulator started and ready in about 10 seconds. I’m on the same machine, same solution, same everything.
Is just me or has this started happening to everyone?
Try using WPConnect.exe instead and see if there are any changes:
