Visual Studio 2015 Cordova project now showing up Ripple and other emulation option

Question

Earlier I used to get multiple options for environment selection like shown in the image for Debug -> Android selection. (Ripple, Device, Google Android Emulator, Ripple - Nexus7 (Tablet), Ripple-Nexus (Galaxy) etc).

However, all of a sudden, now it just shows Start option as shown in top image. I am getting full list in new project, but I an not able to figure out how do I get this for my existing project.

I am using VS 2015 Cordova + ionic. I compared, Build-> Configuration then config.xml and solution files for both the project, but did not find any significant difference.

Does this problem persist on a new blank project? – Elvis Xia - MSFT Jun 22 '16 at 02:46 — Elvis Xia - MSFT, Jun 22 '16 at 02:46
No, for blank, it works as normal. – TechTurtle Jun 29 '16 at 13:52 — TechTurtle, Jun 29 '16 at 13:52

It looks like you may running into an issue we've seen before (I work in the VS Cordova Tools team). Here are the steps to try, quoted from the above answer:

Close all VS instances

[In Explorer, open] "%appdata%\Local\Microsoft\Phone Tools"

rename the CoreCon folder

Launch VS again

Found the issue. I added another project earlier in the same solution. After removing that project, I have to reset the Cordova as startup project. (Though only project on solution is Cordova)
