Visual Studio for Cordova: unable to get launched browser process for your app

Question

I have been following this guide: Getting Started With Visual Studio Tools For Apache Cordova.

But when I try to run a blank app through the "Simulate in Browser" function, I get this error in the debug output window:

Unable to get launched browser process for your app.

After that nothing happens.

I've tried several "solutions" to similar problems I found, but none worked:

1. Reinstalling Visual Studio (and the Cordova Tools) [As per this answer].
2. Deleting the .suo file from the project folder [As per this answer].
3. Modifiying the .sln file from the project folder [As per this answer].
4. Making sure the Deploy checkbox is checked [As per this answer].
5. Cleared the Cordova Cache [As per this answer].

Answer 1

I solved the issue myself, turns out all I had to do is grant Visual Studio elevated privileges.
