The app didnt start in required time WIndows-10

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 Release x86 on a Mobile emulator I hit this error: Symbols for "ntdll.dll" could not be downloaded from Microsoft Symbol Servers
Hence I am trying to run without Debugging. In VS-2015 Debug->Start Without Debugging (in Release mode for x86), I get this error when I use Mobile Emulator:

Unable to activate Windows Store App 'XXXX'. The activation request failed with error "The app didn't start in the required time".


I created a Blank Universal Windows project. I am not sure, why VS is considering this as a Windows Store App.
I followed these steps: File->New->Project->Templates->Visual C#->Windows->Universal->Blank App(Universal Windows)

It looks like you have the Microsoft symbol server set, so the debugger is trying to download the .pdb's for all the publically available .dll's in your app to step through them. Try disabling the symbol server and some other options to get past this:

It's timing out trying to download the symbols and that's causing the debugger to time out. Also, try enabling Just My Code and see if that lets the debugger skip these binaries that you probably don't want to step through:
