  1. Problem installing Developer Mode Package


    I have been trying to install Developer Mode Package (to get debugging etc. features in Visual Studio 2017). The screen displays "Searching for Developer Mode package" then "Installing Developer Mode Package" and then the following error: "Developer Mode is turned on. However remote deployment and Windows Device Portal could not be installed so they're not available. Error code 0x80072f8f"

    I have searched for solutions and found references to date and time problems, but my date and time appear correct, albeit with UK and not US time. I also found a reference (on the web, not in the Microsoft forums) to Eset SSL settings producing this error, and I use Eset as my anti-virus software. But my Eset Advanced Settings differed to the one in the reference and I was unable to get a result. So I don't know what to try next. I would appreciate some help, please!

    :)

  2. Windows 10: Developer Mode package failed to install. Error code 0x80004005

    Attempting to activate developer mode so I can access the Linux Subsystem feature. Upon switching to developer mode, I receive the error in the title and am subsequently unable to locate the package in the 'optional features' list where it is supposedly located. The only other suggestions I've seen online involve registry manipulation, which I view as a last resort--is there no other alternative way to access this package?

  3. stuck installing developer mode package

    I recently got a new computer and put it in developer mode which worked no problem. I kept wondering why it looked like I had two different builds of windows 10 between my laptop and desktop and today I realized it was because my desktop was in sideload
    mode not developer mode but when I switched it back to developer mode it hangs trying to install the developer mode package. When I restart it hangs as well but not when I shutdown. I tried uninstalling the Linux subsystem that I loaded on to it when I originally
    had it in developer mode but that didn't fix the hanging.

    Any ideas?

    Code:
    [i]Moved from: Windows 10  / Windows settings[/i]

  4. Problem installing Developer Mode Package

    stuck installing developer mode package

    My apologies I meant to post a reply earlier. I got this issue resolved with a Microsoft technician. The solution was to upgrade the system to the latest Windows 10 build. To answer your question though I was referring to the developer mode listed in the
    for developers tab in update and security settings. Just search "for developers" in the start menu and it's the first result. It would hang trying to install the package needed to enable that mode. (the circle of would just keep spinning forever)

    I was surprised when I googled before making the question all I could find were solutions to fix error codes which didn't apply to me because I never got an error code. If anyone else runs into this issue check that you have the latest Windows 10 build.
