error : CopyWin32Resources failed with exit code 500

Question

I am currently working on a UWP application using xamarin and everything has been going well and have now all of a sudden gotten the error below.

1>C:\Users\WiandeJager\.nuget\packages\microsoft.net.uwpcoreruntimesdk\2.2.14\tools\CoreRuntime\Microsoft.Net.CoreRuntime.targets(238,5): error : CopyWin32Resources failed with exit code 500

I have tried

• repairing, reinstalling and upgrading VS.
• updated Windows
• reinstalled and upgraded nuget packages

I did have some luck when repairing VS and upgrading microsoft.net.uwpcoreruntimesdk. But a soon as I make any changes no matter how insignificant, I get the same error.

Answer 1

Try reinstalling windows that always works.
