You need Visual Studio 2015 Update 1 to deploy and debug Universal Windows Platform Apps onto IoT-Core Build 10586, the Dec 3rd 2015 release. You MUST use Universal (Unencrypted Mode) authentication not NONE when Deploying/Debugging.
Windows 10 desktop/tablet has undergone a major refresh. At the same time Windows Mobile (Windows Phone 10) has RTMed. Also Windows 10 IoT-Core has also invoked two license versions with its latest concurrent release.

Well, today has been a disaster. After hunting around I found a couple of connectors and 12V power supplies but no joy. I haven’t got the board to boot.
