I am running a fully updated version of VS 2017 Enterprise, on Windows 10, and building an app that's been around for a while. The Mac is remote and the build runs just fine. When I debug/run the app with remote simulator turned off, the iOS simulator on the Mac starts and works correctly. If I check "Remote Simulator to Windows" and launch the debugger, the simulator windows opens on my PC but never becomes responsive. The following log looks normal but it's hanging:

Then the process stops. The simulator window is totally unresponsive on my PC and no simulator window appears on the Mac. Visual Studio is responsive (I can stop the debugger) but the app never loads and runs.
Any thoughts?
