Hi, I see that there are a few forums on this but they don't seem to work. I am running Windows 10 Pro Build 21H1 and I get this error every time I go to launch the simulator it comes up with this error. I tired logging out but It didn't work and Windows 10 21H1 doesn't allow password sign in so what can I do?!

    Hi,
    There was a similar problem before。
    https://github.com/MicrosoftDocs/SupportArticles-docs/blob/main/support/visualstudio/general/windows-simulator-needs-credentials.md
    The issue seems to be related to the app after upgrading the system OS build version.
    Because forWin10 20H1, after all, is just released the operating system version. There may still be incompatibilities with some software.
    Try to check update for system OS and please make sure you are using the latest Visual Studio.
    Hope this helps and please help to accept as Answer if the response is useful.
    Best Regards,
    Carl
