I can't install haxm that is required for vt-x to run Android emulator in Android studio. I enabled Virtualization Technology on BIOS, after it I enabled Hyper-V in windows features. When trying to install the Intel HAXM I got message that my laptop doesn't support vt-x technology. But it suppose to according to this: Intel ARK

After disabling Hyper-V in windows features I got message that my computer is supporting the vt-x but it is not enabled.

My laptop is:

  • HP pavilion g6

  • Windows 8.1 x64

  • Processor: i3 2310m

P.S. I saw that HP laptops has problem with this issue but I hope someone can help me.

After struggling with my laptop I gave up. There is other option to run Android emulator in Android studio - via arm. But this way it's much more slower. – Dima

Follow these steps

  • Disable Hyper-V as it is not necessary.
  • Go to BIOS setup and enable Virtualization.
  • Disable Avast if you have.
  • Install HAXM. It should be installed sucessfully.

P.S. I am using HP laptop and have no problem with this issue.

If you still have the problem and have avast: after the steps given by mohit Singh, be aware that you need to restart your computer after desactivating avast or disable the "hardware virtualization" under settings for the changes to take effect. Sounds stupid but it can help people.
