I'm facing problem in running the android AVD manager. While running, it shows an error message-

emulator: ERROR: x86 emulation currently requires hardware acceleration! Please ensure Intel HAXM is properly installed and usable. CPU acceleration status: HAX kernel module is not installed!

But I've installed Intel x86 Emulator Accelerator (HAXM installer)

my laptop config:

  • Windows 8,
  • Intel Corei5 3210M 2.50GHz

After you installed HAXM, did you restart ADB or your computer? – Raptor
XAXM installer has been installed automatically during installing Anroid Studio! I did not need to install it manually. – Erfan Ahmed
I have the same processor. Windows 8.1. I disabled HyperV and install Intel HAXM in SDK manager. And after that I'm getting the sam error message. Didn't help. – Vlado Pandžić

Create emulator in CPU/ABI in ARM, this error only exist for the Intel processor.

If you want to create AVD CPU/ABI in Intel for this process. Make sure you have instaled HAXM installer on your SDK Manager.

After you download it make sure you run the setup located in: 

{SDK_FOLDER}\extras\intel\Hardware_Accelerated_Execution_Manager\intelhaxm.exe

If you get the error "VT not supported" during the installation, disable Hyper-V on windows features. You can execute this command:

dism.exe /Online /Disable-Feature:Microsoft-Hyper-V

You will also need "Virtualization Technology" to be enabled on your BIOS

Here is what you need to do to fix this issue.

1) Navigate to the following path:

C:\Users\Main\AppData\Local\Android\sdk\extras\intel\Hardware_Accelerated_Execution_Manager

2) Run intelhaxm-android.exe as an administrator.

3) Once the installation is complete, Run your project and you will be able to run android emulator on your machine.

NOTE: YOUR VIRTUALIZATION SHOULD BE ENABLED IN THE BIOS SETTINGS.

Hope this helps.
