Error : The windows phone emulator wasn’t able to create the external network switches on my windows 8 professional box.

Solution :

1.) First disable the Hyper-V in windows features.
2.) Remove all network devices from Device manager.
3.) Reboot the windows 8 box.
4.) Install network devices (scan for new hardware changes so that Windows reinstalls the devices.)
5.) Install WP8 SDK again

Now, I am able to launch the emulator and it created the network switch on its own and successfully connected to my network 🙂
