How do I enable the Windows 10 Developer Mode so that I can build and deploy UWP applications?

If you try to develop new Windows 10 UWP applications with Visual Studio 2015, you might get an message from Visual Studio saying that you must enable Developer Mode to run, debug and deploy your applications.

Luckily, enabling the developer mode is very simple: go to Windows 10's new Settings screen (the "new Control Panel"), and then under "Developer", enable the Developer Mode.

After this is done, Visual Studio can run and deploy your own UWP applications to your computer. If you wish to test your application on another computer, that computer must also have developer mode enabled.

Hope this helps!
