Hardware acceleration doesn't work in Android Studio despite intelhaxm being installed

I have intelhaxm installed and use a quite new Lenovo Thinkpad. When I try to start an emulated device I get the error message:
Emulator: emulator: ERROR: x86 emulation currently requires hardware acceleration
What do I have to do to get start the emulator?
(I don't get the error message HAX kernel module is not installed that the linked question is about)

In android Studio Go to
File->Settings-->Apperance&Behaviour-->System Settings-->Android SDK-> then tap on SDK Tools and update the Intel x86 emulator Accelator

Download the HAXM manager and install it manually.

It turns out that I had to deinstall and then reinstall HAXM. When I reinstalled it told me that there might be a conflict with Hyper-V visualisation and after I switched that off it finally worked.

Error in Android Studio: "ERROR: x86 emulation currently requires hardware acceleration!"

I started recently using Android Studio and am stuck with this error message:
x86 emulation currently requires hardware acceleration!
Please ensure Intel HAXM is properly installed and usable.
CPU acceleration status: HAX kernel module is not installed!
Any idea how to resolve it?
I did some search on the issue am having and I think it has to do with changing my ANDROID_SDK_ROOT environment variable to the original value, but no clue how to do so.

Not resolveable if you have an AMD processor on Windows, at least as far as I know.
If you have an Intel processor, enable the virtual extensions in your bios (called VT, if available).
If you are on windows also install HAXM via the Android SDK manager. (also install it, the SDK manager will only download it: {SDK_FOLDER}\extras\intel\Hardware_Accelerated_Execution_Manager\intelhaxm.exe)
Disable hyper-V if you are on Windows 8 or above using: dism.exe /Online /Disable-Feature:Microsoft-Hyper-V
Genymotion is an alternative for AMD users.

Error in Launching AVD on Windows 7 in Android SDK 23

I have Windows 7(Ultimate edition) installed in my Dell Inspiron laptop with an Intel i5 processor. I have recently installed the latest Android SDK(SDK 23, Android 6.0) and it got successfully installed as well. Now when I launch AVD, I get the following 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!
Now the problem is, I have already enabled Virtualization from the BIOS and same verified from Intel Processor Identification Utility.
I navigated to my android sdk ...\extras\intel\Hardware_Accelerated_Execution_Manager and double clicked on intelhaxm-android.exe.
I get the following error:
How to remove this error? What is it that could be causing the error?

Had Exact same issue u need to go to bios setting by reboot and enable VT option. Once done install intel driver for HAXM, Manually google, download and install it.

Android Studio AVD emulator error, can't find sdk path

I've installed Android Studio following TheNewBoston tutorial instructions. When trying to launch the default Nexus AVD in the emulator I get this error message:
Cannot launch AVD in emulator.
Output:
emulator: ERROR: x86 emulation currently requires hardware acceleration!
Please ensure Intel HAXM is properly installed and useable.
CPU acceleration status: HAX karnel module is not installed!
Of course, I've installed Intel x86 Emulator Accelerator in Android SDK Manager but I can't find SDK at the default location mentioned in some answers (C:\users\username\AppData\Local\Android\sdk).
Please help me start developing.
Thanks in advance :)

Sometimes you may have to enable the "enable hardware virtualization
in bios"
Below is a URL which shows how (Windows):

Error in launching AVD on Windows 7 Android studio

I am trying to start emulator on newly installed Android Studio but I am getting following 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 to install HAXM from extras but I keep on getting following error:
VT not supported
then I tried this about which I read in another forum:
dism.exe /Online /Disable-Feature:Microsoft-Hyper-V
but its also failing with below error:
Deployment Image Servicing and Management tool
Version: 6.1.7600.16385
Image Version: 6.1.7601.18489
Error: 0x800f080c
Feature name Microsoft-Hyper-V is unknown.
A Windows feature name was not recognized.
Use the /Get-Features option to find the name of the feature in the image and try the command again.
Although I checked from BIOS setup that my processor supports VT and its enabled in BIOS.
My system configurations is:
Intel i5 2410,
Windows 4 64-bit,
JDK7,
Android SDK 24.0.1,
Android Studio 1.0.1,
Please help to solve this issue if anyone has been able to solve it earlier.

I had this issue and it was caused by VirtualBox. After uninstalling VB everything worked fine but when I was doing some research about this problem it seemed like other things can generate this error. If you have virtualBox try to uninstall it, if you don't well... sorry, can't help.
