Description

*Details:* Currently, if you want to install an Alloy app to the Windows phone emulator, you will need to "turn on" Hyper-V and restart your Windows machine. *However*, you cannot install the same Alloy app to Genymotion emulator because you will get VT-x is not available (VERR_VMX_NO_VMX) error from Genymotion's VirtualBox. To workaround this issue, you will need to "turn off" Hyper-V and restart your windows machine, then you can install to Genymotion emulator. So, in order to have a continuous development experience on Windows 10 (i.e. without restarting the machine), the following should occur from Appcelerator platform:

Should be documented that Genymotion does not work with Hyper-V "turned on". However, the stock Android emulator still works with Hyper-V enabled.

Look into the possibility of using Visual Studio's Android emulator instead of Genymotion: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/visualstudioalm/archive/2014/11/12/introducing-visual-studio-s-emulator-for-android.aspx
