Symbols for "ntdll.dll" could not be downloaded from Microsoft Symbol Servers
<p>I am trying to port my Windows Phone 8 app to Windows 10. I am able to build my app. When I try to deploy my app in <strong>Release</strong> <strong>x86</strong> on a Mobile emulator, it fails &amp; gives the following msg:</p>

<blockquote>
  <p>Symbols for ntdll.dll could not be downloaded from Microsoft Symbol Servers. Exception string and call stacks may not work correctly. Make sure you have network connection and try again</p>
</blockquote>

<p>Even though I am trying to run my app in <strong>Release</strong> mode, I am not sure why VS-2015 is tyring to download these debugging symbols. <br>
After a bit of searching on the internet, I have done these, yet I continue to see the issue:</p>

<ul>
<li>I have already downloaded, all necessary symbols available from Windows-10 from here: <a href="https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/hardware/gg463028.aspx" rel="noreferrer">https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/hardware/gg463028.aspx</a> to <strong>C:\Symbols</strong></li>
<li>In VS <strong>Tools->Options->Debugging->Server</strong>, I have created two entries for Symbol file).pdb) locations. One points to <strong>Microsoft Symbol Servers</strong> and the other to <strong>C:\Symbols</strong></li>
<li>The machine has internet connection, so there is no problem with the connection as the error message points to.</li>
<li>I have set environment var <strong>_NT_SYMBOL_PATH</strong> to <strong>SRV<em>c:\symbols</em><a href="http://msdl.microsoft.com/download/symbols" rel="noreferrer">http://msdl.microsoft.com/download/symbols</a></strong></li>
</ul>

<p>Has anyone faced this issue?</p>
