HAXM is not installed on this machine - android

Recently I've installed Xamarin and tried to do a tutorial in Xamarin page beginner. When I am about to compile, it gives me an error:
2>Please ensure Intel HAXM is properly installed and usable.
and
2>CPU acceleration status: HAXM is not installed on this machine
Then I am opening the android SDK Manager, I can't install the HAXM
Some link suggest to download it from intel but I got access denied. And also in my windows feature hyper-v was unchecked
n.b: I am using windows ver.10, VS.studio ver.2017 with i5 processor

Open SDK Manager and download Intel x86 Emulator Accelerator (HAXM installer) if you haven't.
Now go to your SDK directory (C:\users\username\AppData\Local\Android\sdk, generally). In this directory, go to extras → Intel → Hardware_Accelerated_Execution_Manager and run the file named "intelhaxm-android.exe".
In case you get an error like "Intel virtualization technology
(vt,vt-x) is not enabled", go to your BIOS settings and enable
hardware virtualization.
Restart Android Studio and then try to start the AVD again.
It might take a minute or 2 to show the emulator window.

Error in launching AVD with AMD processor

Check your system have Intel® VT-x Technology, sometime it is easier to make mistake.
Check your Intel Virtualization Technology state in Task Manager -> Performance -> Virtualization -> Enable or Disable.
In BIOS model :
Even if you do this, it maybe still have no effect :
Config -> CPU -> Intel Virtualization Technology -> Enable
Enable Virtualization like this :
Security -> Virtualization -> Intel(R) Virtualization Technology -> Enabled
If you have turn it on, install the Intel HAXM.

If it is Intel processor, then you enable Intel HAXM.
If it is AMD processor then below is your answer.
You absolutely don't need Intel HAXM (Hardware Accelerated Execution Mode) in AMD processors, because they are AMD processors.
Just enable (check) Windows Hypervisor Platform in Windows features as shown below.
Now, you can start emulators. No need of Intel HAXM.
Here is official link: https://android-developers.googleblog.com/2018/07/android-emulator-amd-processor-hyper-v.html

As Ashok Kateshiya post says, do follow same. But for first step that how to get the things, A new user of Android SDK who is going to setup the software may get confused somewhat. SO I am adding some extra details for them. Just see down...
I am adding an image for how to get the first option, here... enter image description here
Now, click apply and follow the steps and atlast click ok butoon.
Now go to your SDK directory (C:\users\username\AppData\Local\Android\sdk, generally). In this directory, go to extras → Intel → Hardware_Accelerated_Execution_Manager.
And run the file named "haxm-7.6.5-setup.exe".
Now it will install the exe file and by using a intel interface.
And you need not to restart the android studio just run the app it will work fine for you.
Adding an image for succefull completion of installation: enter image description here
Thanks.

Check HAXM installed
Goto Controll pannel check HAXM (or check C:\Windows\System32\drivers\IntelHaxm.sys)
You can download HAXM version xxx and install (or you can download in android studio you will see it in you_path\SDK\extras\intel\Hardware_Accelerated_Execution_Manager)
If you install HAXM and get error "VT-x Technology...." => so you much checkin driver BIOS and chipset installed AND CHECKING BIOS Intel(R) Virtualization Technology -> Enabled
If Are you on Windows 7? I suspect this issue only affects 64-bit Windows 7 systems that lack a security patch, which enables support for SHA-256 code signing algorithm:

Active Virtualization Technology (VT-x) at bios setting
follow the steps from this article, you need to enable virtualization from your BIOS settings in order to run your android emulators.
i do this on every machine 1st time i install android studio/HAX, hope it works for you
https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/ITOps-Talk-Blog/Step-By-Step-Enabling-Hyper-V-for-use-on-Windows-10/ba-p/267945
Thanks for TekTutorialsHub for the idea - in my computer (Win10, Android Studio 3.6.1) the problem was connected with antivirus program protection of memory integrity (Windows Defender Security Center - Device security/Core isolation details/Memory integrity/off). Restart the computer.
In older version on the same hardware everything worked perfect, the problem began after Android Studio /SDK update.
It's really easy to solve just go to your BIOS and enable the Virtualization Technology (VT-x),You can disable the Hyper-V from the windows feature and check if it works. Thanks

Error 'reg' is not recognizable while installing Android Studio and SDK

Here is what happened while i tried to install Android Studio on my Windows 8.1 PC!
I tried uninstalling and reinstalling a couple of times with the same result.
Try this. Uncheck the checkbox for Intel HAXM during installation of Android Studio
When Android Studio installation is complete, go to your SDK manager and download Intel HAXM from there
You can then follow the instructions to install Intel HAXM from that point.
Hardware Accelerated Execution Manager (HAXM) is a hardware-assisted virtualization engine that uses Intel Virtualization Technology to speed up Android development.
So i think you have got a problem in HAX>>>
First of all,
Click on Turn Window Features on and off in your control panel.
Uncheck Hyper-V option and restart your system.
That also if does not work then>>>
Follow the following steps:
1.Press F10 (Computer Set Up) - BIOS - Security -System Security -Enter - Virtual Technology (VTX)-Enable-File
then,Save and Exit
2.Goto sdk Folder:
F:\Android\sdk\extras\intel\Hardware_Accelerated_Execution_Manager Run
intelhaxm-android.exe
3.You should be seeing a dialog box which quotes,
"Completed Intel Hardware Accelerated Execution Manager Set Up Wizard.
Click the Finish Button to exit the wizard"
After all this,try running the emulator in android studio where you will see HAX is working & your problem is solved...

Error about hardware acceleration while loading AVD

I installed Android studio in my windows 7 OS and it doesn't allow me to load AVDs. It shows 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 several things. I enabled "Intel Virtualization Technology" from the BIOS setup and re-installed XHAM installer from SDK Manager. But nothing changed. At last I tried to install "intelhaxm-android.exe" at the file location but it gives an error as below...!
"This computer meets the requirements for the XHAM, but intel
virtualization technology (VT-x) is not turned on. XHAM cannot be installed
untill VT-x is enabled. Please refer to the Intel XHAM documentation for the
information"
But I have already enabled it from the BIOS!!
Your computer can only use one type of VT at a time. That's why many Windows 8 users are having trouble with Hyper-V. Avast Antivirus (and probably others) also use this. You can either uninstall your antivirus software, or search for the option that uses virtualization. In Avast, you can do it as seen in the picture. You have to reboot your computer after this change.
To run the AVD with HAXM you require both the HAXM packages from the SDK manager along with installing https://software.intel.com/en-us/android/articles/intel-hardware-accelerated-execution-manager from intel.
Ensure that VT is enabled in your bios and then try again. There is also a guide on the intel site that explains how to enable this: https://software.intel.com/en-us/android/articles/installation-instructions-for-intel-hardware-accelerated-execution-manager-windows

Running the new Intel emulator for Android

Lately Google and Intel have published a new way to run the emulator, which should work much better than the previous version (which has emulated ARM CPU). Here are some links about it: this and this.
However, after installing the new components and creating a new emulator configuration as instructed, I get an error and I also can't see any improvements. I've tried both API 10 and API 15, and with GPU enabled and disabled. None of those configurations helped. I've also tried it on two different computers and didn't get any boost (and got the same errors).
It seems that on the posts I've read about it, nobody had any problems with it and all report a much faster emulator.
The error it shows is:
emulator: Failed to open the HAX device!
HAX is not working and emulator runs in emulation mode
emulator: Open HAX device failed
Why is it happening, and is there a way to fix it? Is there anyone else who gets those errors or vice versa?
By the way, I have an Intel CPU, if that could be a problem.
EDIT:
here's what I see in the BIOS, so it should be available... :
I had the same issue, solved it by Installing the Intel Hardware Accelerated Execution Manager. Download it with the SDK Manager, it's in Extras. After this, go to the folder
[Android SDK Root]\extras\intel\Hardware_Accelerated_Execution_Manager
then run IntelHaxm.exe and install.
Here the link of the Intel Hardware Accelerated
IntelHaxm.exe for
Microsoft Windows,Mac OS* X, and Linux
Ubuntu
You'll get the following message if you don't have virtualization enabled in your BIOS:
Small Note for Windows 8 user, Intel HAX will not work if Hyper-V feature is enable. Hyper-V (like most of the virtualization tech) will exclusively lock the VT extension witch will prevent HAX to work properly. A workaround if you “need” Hyper-V too might be to stop manually the Hyper-V services when you need HAX (haven’t tested it yet through).
If all else fails. Simply try to download the Intel HAXM zip manually, extract and install.
check here
Remember this only works for an Intel cpu that supports Intel Virtualization Technology. And you MUST enable virtulization in your bios.
It's a fairly decent and very noticeable improvement to the android emulator if you ask me.
Not every processor is supporting the virtualization!
To find out your chipset abilities go to http://ark.intel.com/,
insert the name of your processor in the search line and check out the resolve.
Advanced Technologies: ...
Intel® Virtualization Technology (VT-x) = ???
If you see "No", you can forget HAXM!
Here are the steps to get the Hardware Accelerated Execution (HAX) which is really quite a lot:
1-check your processor Intel website to see if it supports Intel VT-x or not:
http://ark.intel.com/Products/VirtualizationTechnology
all Intel Core i processors and some other selected processors support Intel VT-x
2- check your bios to enable Intel VT-x , usually called hardware virtualization or Intel virtualization in bios
3- check if you are using a software conflicting with HAXM, popular software conflicting with haxm include but not limited to:
Hyper-V
Windows phone SDK 8
Avast antivirus 8
4-install Intel management engine interface (MEI), this driver is usually not installed and is not part of retailer Windows DVD, even Windows 8.
Check this post about how to install:
http://communities.intel.com/community/vproexpert/blog/2011/12/19/mei-driver-now-available-via-microsoft-windows-update
This driver is required and is not optional to activate Hardware Acceleration
you can also install it from windows update
5-use android SDK manager to download Extras -> Intel x86 Hardware Accelerated Execution Manager.
6-Run installer of HAXM from:
[Android SDK Root]\extras\intel\Hardware_Accelerated_Execution_Manager\IntelHaxm.exe
if you passed the previous steps the installer will work just fine ,otherwise it will fail
7-start AVD and see the difference in performance, Animations are faster
System UI and launchers crashes in 4.0.3 but are just fine for 4.2.2
see installation guide by intel:
Using SDK Manager to download Intel HAX did not work.
Downloading and installing it from the Intel website did work.
http://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/intel-hardware-accelerated-execution-manager/
Top Tip: making the change in my BIOS to enable virtualization and then using "restart" did not enable virtualization. Doing a cold boot (i.e. shutdown and restart) suddenly made it appear.
The first step (on Windows) is to make sure that the Micrsoft Hardware-Assisted Virtualization Tool reports that "this computer is configured with hardware-assisted virtualization".
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=592
You might need to turn on virtualization in your BIOS, most manufacturers disable it by default. Intel HAX requires CPU virtualization to be enabled.
The same began to happen to me about one week ago, without apparent reason (99% sure that I didn't upgrade anything); after being able to run the emulator for some time it just stopped working without an apparent reason.
I tried to install the Intel thingie, but the installer reported that my machine doesn't support Intel VM, despite the fact that it has an Intel i3 processor and that virtualization is enabled (perhaps XP is too old an OS for that, although MS VM, Oracle's Virtual Box and VMWare have been installed an working in this machine with the same OS).
I just edited the VD to emulate an Arm processor, and everything is working again.
Perhaps not the optimal solution, but it works!
For Windows, there are some answers explained how it works. But I'm a Mac User, I don't know how to install HAX driver for Mac as they did for Windows. Finally I found the below link and it did fix my problem. You should download HAXM of Mac
and then install it.
https://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/intel-hardware-accelerated-execution-manager-end-user-license-agreement-macosx/
Complete step-by-step instructions for running the accelerated emulator can be found on the official Android developers website:
Caution: As of SDK Tools Revision 17, the virtual machine acceleration
feature for the emulator is experimental; be alert for
incompatibilities and errors when using this feature.
You have to download the Intel® Hardware Accelerated Execution Manager.
Then you will get this message:
Starting emulator for AVD 'test'
emulator: device fd:740
HAX is working and emulator runs in fast virt mode
For Mac users who want to check whether your processor supports virtualisation, use the maccpuid software and look for VMX. If it is checked then you're good to go.
Download it here
Here there are two issues we have to concentrate on:
HAX device failed to open,
For this problem, you have to run the HAX device setup file from the HAX addon folder. Follow Speed Up Android Emulator to know clearly how.
If you created the AVD through AVD manager then you can change the RAM size in AVD Manager and device edit option.
If you created the AVD through command line, then you should start the AVD from command line will work,
emulator -memory 512 -avd gtv_avd
If everything else fails, it's good to try my option and download a HAXM installer.
It needs to be copied to HAXM installation folder and then started from command line (start CMD as an Administrator). After restarting computer HAXM will be installed. It perfectly worked for me as I was having problems with installing it on my laptop.
After all simply type sc query intelhaxm in your cmd in order to check whether HAXM is installed properly.
If you are running an Intel processor make sure the HAXM (Intel® Hardware Accelerated Execution Manager) installer is installed via SDK Manager by checking this option in SDK Manager. And then run the HAXM installer ext via the path below.
your_sdk_folder\extras\intel\Hardware_Accelerated_Execution_Manager\intelhaxm.exe
Also check the RAM size allocated while doing HAX installation so it fits the RAM size of your emulator.
This video shows all the required steps which may help you to solve the problem.
This video will also help you if you face a problem after installing HAXM.
Download HAXM from the Intel site.
Install it.
And then run the AVD from AndroidStudio, menu -> Tools -> AVD. Choose x86.
It works!
