I have an issue with my HAXM installation. Here is the thing. I got this error every single time I tried to install HAXM for my computer:
Problem is, that my computer supports Virtualization Technology (see pic below). Any idea how to fix this issue?
Seems like the list of fixes is growing, even years after since the original question.
Below is the full list for Windows (so far as of circa 02/2020)
If you have Windows 10, with all updates installed and you believe
try Step 6 below. It is likely the cause.
Also to see if your fix worked, you can manually download the Intel HAXM installer here. (Latest version of HAXM may not be the same as what comes from Android Studio) Before starting the install, run the haxm_check.exe included in the download from command line. If your fix worked, it should show yes for both NX and VT.
If you just double click haxm_check.exe you won't see anything. Run it from cmd or powershell to see the output.
make sure it is Enabled. If the option is not there, check with your manufacturer and model to make sure it is supported.
systeminfo. If it shows 'hypervisor is detected' under Hyper-V requirements, even after removing Hyper-V feature, you may have 'Core Isolation' enabled. See below on how to disable it.bcdedit /set hypervisorlaunchtype offbcdedit /set hypervisorlaunchtype auto and rebootauto after the emulator has installed. But may need to set to off reboot the next time you create an emulator/download and install an emulator image.Edits/New fixes welcome.
hope this helps
I am sorry, I forget to answer this question. After few days of googling I found, that problem was caused by hyperthreading (or hyper - v). I decided to edit my boot.ini file with option to start up windows with hyperthreading turned off. I followed this tutorial and now everything works perfect
First of all make sure you enabled Virtualization Technology in your BIOS. After restarting your computer press F1-F12 on your keyboard and find this option.
Make sure you disabled Hyper-V in your Windows 7/Windows 8. You can turn it off in Control Panel -> Programs -> Windows functions
You can try to disable your antivirus program for the whole installation process. Remember to restore all antivirus services after installing HAXM.
Some people recommend cold boot which is:
Unfortunately this step didn't work for me
All you have to do is to download the package, unzip it, put it together with HAXM installator file and run .cmd file included in the package - remember, start it as an Administrator.
I had a lot of problems with installing HAXM and only the last step helped me.
Maybe VT-X is not enabled in your BIOS.
See Intel HAXM documentation here: http://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/installation-instructions-for-intel-hardware-accelerated-execution-manager-windows
Intel VT-x not enabled
In some cases, Intel VT-x may be disabled in the system BIOS and must be enabled within the BIOS setup utility. To access the BIOS setup utility, a key must be pressed during the computer’s boot sequence. This key is dependent on which BIOS is used but it is typically the F2, Delete, or Esc key. Within the BIOS setup utility, Intel VT may be identified by the terms "VT", "Virtualization Technology", or "VT-d." Make sure to enable all of the Virtualization features.
Anti-virus software may interfere with the HAXM installation. After trying to figure out what went wrong for a few hours I found a strange solution - uninstalling my anti-virus software , installing HAXM (which worked) and then re-installing the anti-virus software (Avast in my case but it could happen with other anti-virus programs as well.
The full check I went through to get this running is:
If you have an AMD Ryzen processor in your computer you need the following setup requirements to be in place:
Note:There is Hyper-V features... You should enable Windows Hypervisor Platform not Hyper-V. Windows Hypervisor Platform is at the bottom
After conditions done avd x86 work without haxm install
In many cases some antivirus also start HyperV with window start and does not allow HAXM to install. I faced this issue because of AVAST antivirus. So I uninstalled AVAST, then HAXM installed properly after restart. Then I re-installed AVAST.
So its just a check while installing as now even with AVAST installed back, HAXM works properly with virtual box and android emulators.
After I installed Visual Studio 2013 Update 2, Visual Studio notified me about a Windows Phone emulator update, which I installed (it was really a new component, not an update). It turned out this enabled Hyper-V, which broke HAXM.
The solution was to uninstall the emulator from Programs and Features and to turn off Hyper-V from Windows Features (search for "Windows Features" and click "Turn Windows features on or off").
If you dont find Hyper-V option in control panel as said in other responses here, try entering BIOS setup (restarting and pressing F-12 or ESC or other depending on your PC) and enabling Virtualization, located probably in CPU options.
If none of the answers worked out for you, try this,
Hyper-V might not be disabled If you have windows 10 features such as Device Guard and Credential Guard is enabled, it can prevent Hyper-V from being completely disabled.
The Device Guard and Credential Guard hardware readiness tool released by Microsoft can disable the said Windows 10 features along with Hyper-V:
Download it here, https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=53337
Download the latest version of the Device Guard and Credential Guard hardware readiness tool. Unzip Open the Command Prompt using Run as administrator @powershell -ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned -Command "X:\path\to\dgreadiness_v3.6\DG_Readiness_Tool_v3.6.ps1 -Disable" Reboot.
I already tried all of the possible solutions on stackoverflow and didn't work What I tried:
But finally I found the solution, you have to disable Hyper-V from System Configuration:
Check System Information then Hyper-V is off now
