ERROR: x86 emulation currently requires hardware acceleration! (Android Studio)

I'm currently have a problem with my Android Studio because I cannot run any application using an emulator.
The full error that comes up when trying to run an application is...
Emulator: emulator: ERROR: x86 emulation currently requires hardware
acceleration!
Emulator: Process finished with exit code 1
I have Intel Haxm fully installed (when running intelhaxm-android.exe it only gives me the option to remove) and have tried using both the API 27 and 28.
Any help would be appreciated :)

I was having the same issue.
Doing the following steps solved the issue.
Check if Virtualization is enabled under BIOS. If not, do so. It is usually under CPU settings.
In Android studio, check that under SDK_Manager>Android_SDK>SDK Tools> Intel x86 Emulator Accelerator (HAXM installer) is checked. If not,check it and press OK. It will install HAXM.
If the problem still persists (Which is the usual case for latest Windows 10 updates), on windows control panel search for Turn Windows features on or off. Put check in Window HyperVisor Platform as below.
Now, run AVD and it should work.

I had the same problem and found out that you need to enable hardware acceleration in the BIOS.

for anyone else having this exact issue i was able to solve this issue by
uninstalling intel Haxm
enable virtualization in BIOS
enable NX/ND bit or execute disable feature in BIOS
re-installing intel Haxm

Try to update your HAXM from SDK manager, i attach my settings for Android Studio 3.1.2 here:
And, remember that you should have installed the correct Android Studio, i.e. 32-bit or 64-bit according to your computer.

Trouble with Intel Haxm when using AVD in Android Studio

Ok, I've spent a whole day trying to solve a problem with Android Studio AVD.
I've installed Intel HAXM, enabled Intel Virtualization Technology and found out that there was no Hyper_V in my Window Features.
However, when I tried to run my project in Android Studio AVD, I still got the same error:
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!
I'm really fed up with this, I still got class tomorrow (Android Game Programming), so can someone help me with this?

Cannot run emulator in android studio...Getting HAXM error

I am trying to setup android studio in my computer and almost everything's done but the last one and that is setting up the emulator. When I try to start it by clicking on AVD Manager I get this error.
Cannot launch AVD in emulator.
Output:
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!
I have tried to solve this issue by doing the following:
Going into the directory ........sdk\extras\intel\Hardware_Accelerated_Execution_Manager\ and then running the exe file "intelhaxm-android.exe" to install manually. However, it did not work as well and gave the error saying that VT not supported.
To solve that problem I checked that in BIOS and found out it was already enabled.
Then, I searched more about it and found out that the anti virus may be causing it. So, about that, firstly, I do not have any Anti-virus installed yet and secondly I also deactivated Windows Firewall but still getting the error.
And,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,this question is not a duplicate of this question
Emulator: ERROR: x86 emulation currently requires hardware acceleration
or any other one on stackoverflow.

I recommend you use Genymotion instead of HAXM. It's faster and saves you a lot of time.
https://www.genymotion.com

I had the same issues with HAXM, I just found a solution. In the BIOS, I had "VT -d" enabled, I juste disabled it and everything worked well.
Hoping I helped you.
(look like VT -d is disable-ing VTx).
But Genymotion is faster than Android Studio emulator by the way, and comes with more options.

Do you have an old computer? I use Andriod Studio but I had the same problem trying to enable HAXM on my PC in order to use the emulator. My PC is several years old and runs Windows7.
I tried an alternate method but it was so slow that I have decided I needed to replace my PC.

AMD Processor Hax Kernel is not installed

I'm having problems with the Emulator on Android Studio.
First of all, when I'm trying to execute my app with the Android Studio emulator, appears me the following log:
emulator: ERROR: x86_64 emulation currently requires hardware
acceleration! Please ensure Intel HAXM is properly installed and
usable. CPU acceleration status: HAX kernel module is not installed!
Ok, searching I found that I have to install
intelhaxm-android.exe
So I did it, but appers me a pop-up saying that my computer does not support Intel Virtualization technology.
Ok, searching I found that this is an option of my BIOS, but my BIOS does not support it.
So, may I give up? I do not know what else to do

Intel virtualization works only on supported Intel processors. There is currently no such thing for AMD processors. But there's an amazing alternative! A couple of years ago, AMD partnered with a software startup to create a blazing fast emulator called Bluestacks. I previously used a machine with an AMD processor, and Bluestacks worked like magic on it!
Just install bluestacks on your PC. When you fire it up, it will show up as a mobile device in your IDE's list of supported devices. It runs as fast as real phone!

Ok, sorry I haven't seen your answer. Ok it worked, but it seems that is possible to run a "software" emulator for AMD processors. But Bluestacks worked perfectly. Thanks!

Android App development without Virtualization Technology?

I'm a newbie to Android Application development, just started off by downloading Android Studio along with JDK-7 and also installed Intel x86 Emulator Accelerator(HAXM) through SDK manager.
Now when I try to launch Emulator, I get this error:
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!
I tried these steps from a similar post, but when I try to run the setup located at: {SDK_FOLDER}\extras\intel\Hardware_Accelerated_Execution_Manager\intelhaxm.exe
I get this exception:
and when I checked my processor config, I found that it doesn't support Virtualization technology,
Now my question is, is it possible to use a pc without Virtualization technology feature for Android App Development(Including Emulator)?

As the name implies, it is an Emulator Accelerator. You can still use the Emulator, its just going to be a bit slower running without HAXM.
In my experience, it is OK to use the normal emulator for infrequent debugging but it is too slow, even with HAXM, for serious development, which should be carried out on an actual device.
If you have to use an emulator, I'd go with GenyMotion.

San', you could try using a super fast and popular emulator known as "GenyMotion". It is for free :). Also, I ran into the VT error myself before when I first installed Android Studio on my new laptop and I was able to successfully resolve it by configuring my BIOS options a bit. It's easy, I can point you to the direction that I took if you want me to.
