Tried with different unity versions (5.4, 5.5 beta) with a empty project . Still same result. Anyone seen this before ?

The Editor output is here :
Assertion failed on expression: ‘FALSE != acquireNewContextResult’

Same problem here, after upgrading to Visual Studio 2015 Update 3

Just spent whole day trying to fix this same problem (Unity 5.5.1).

Tried reinstalling both Unity and Visual Studio - didn’t help.

I have been able to create a certificate once since my Hololens test project had the certificate. I ended up just copy/pasting that file to a new project and it worked.

I’m starting to fear what other mystery bugs the Win 10, Hololens and Unity I’m going to encounter before this project is over…
