I just wanted to share my experience in case it would be helpful to anyone experiencing the problem I had with Visual Studio 2015 On Windows 10. When creating new Web Application projects in Visual Studio I experienced a couple of problems. The first problem was project References were missing and had yellow exclamation points next to all references which caused build errors. By unloaded and reloading the project via the project context menu the references were restored and the warning disappeared and the project was able to run. The second problem involved Bower packages not being displayed under Dependencies -> Bower. Attempting to reload packages via the Bower context menu resulted in a 'UNC Path Not Supported' error in Output. I realized from examining the error in Output that it wasn't VS's ability to find the packages but its ability to copy them to the project. I noticed the path being used was the Network path,'\\Mac\Home\Documents\Visual Studio 2015\Projects\...'. Since I was getting started testing I recreated the project but this time instead of letting the dialog choose the default path for the project I typed in the absolute path, 'C:\Users\...\Documents\Visual Studio 2015\Projects' and sure enough it worked! Once the project was created and loaded, both problems were gone and I was able to restore Bower packages and run the project.
