I have a problem about Genymotion after updating my OS to Windows 10, fistly it did not open with this error: Virtualization engine not found. Plugin loading aborted. Also unable to load virtualbox engine. After all I tried to upload Genymotion version 2.0.3 and system worked but I could not upload any virtual device. Then uploaded 1 virtual device however it did not worked. Help Please.. Thank you
You may try the following process:
Run VirtualBox as administrator (By default is installed in C:\Program Files\Oracle\VirtualBox)
Go to File -> Preferences -> Network (Left Navigation List) -> Host-only Networks (on the right tab)
Select an adapter and click edit (the small screwdriver on the right)
On "Adapter" tab set
IPv4 Address: 192.168.1.201
IPv4 Network Mask: 255.255.255.0
On DHCP Server Tab set
Server Address: 192.168.1.100
Server Mask: 255.255.255.0
Lower Address Bound: 192.168.1.101
Upper Address Bound: 192.168.1.199
Click Ok (Host-only Network details), click Ok (VM Settings)
Open Genymotion (as Admin), install a new virtual device (you have deleted all past devices) and start it
It worked with Genymotion 2.5.3 and VB 4.3.12, hope it helps !!
In my case (Windows 10 with VirtualBox 5.0.10 and Genymotion 2.6.0) i had to:
Go to network connections (run control netconnections from cmd)
Right click and properties on VirtualBox Host-Only Network
Enable VirtualBox NDIS6 Bridged Networking Driver
Also some times it helps to delete the virtual device and to download it again.
UPDATE: This is fixed in the latest Genymotion and doesn't happen to me any more.
NOTE: this is using Genymotion 2.5.3, VirtualBox 5.0.0 r101573 and updated Windows 10 as of today.
I'm having all kinds of problems as well, I finally managed to get it working:
Delete genymotion and virtualbox
Remove any unremoved files in folders like AppData and Program Files
Restart
Install Genymotion
Install VirtualBox latest
Run Genymotion as admin, just in case
Install an image that I didn't try before to make sure it's not using any cached data.
It worked fine.
Sometimes, I still freezes and stops working if I try to start a second device. The solution is to:
Close Genymotion, Android studio, etc
Force kill adb.exe and any VirtualBox processes.
Start Genymotion again and start a device.
Install the latest version of Genymotion(2.5.3) can solve the problem.
I've send a email to Genymotion to ask this problem, and I got this reply：

Hi,
Thanks for your report! It will help us to improve our products.
Old version of Genymotion were not working correctly with Windows 10. This has been fixed in Genymotion 2.5.3.
Please download the latest version of Genymotion and try again.
Best regards,

Start Genymotion 2.5.3 in compatibility mode with Windows 8 - it solves the problem for me. VirtualBox 5.0.0 r101573 and Windows 10 Home (all for x64).
Refer to this virtualbox thread:
https://www.virtualbox.org/ticket/14040
For me, as other answers suggested, using genymotion 2.5.3 and latest vbox works fine.
You can find latest test builds at https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Testbuilds
Hope it helps :)
EDIT Vbox now officially supports windows 10 and genymotion 2.5.4 also supports Vbox version (5.0.4) on Windows 10
see https://www.genymotion.com/#!/release-notes
You have just to update your VirtualBox, use a 5.x.x VBOX version it should work normaly ;)
Go to VirtualBox. File -> Preferences -> Network -> Select Host-only Networks.
Select one of the Ethernet Adapters -> Click the tool on bottom right of screen. The third button on the right.
Enter the following:
IPv4 Address: 192.168.1.201 IPv4
Network Mask: 255.255.255.0.
No need to have DHCP Server selected. Hit OK and now you are good to go.
If you haven't done so, make sure to go to Settings and set Version to Windows 10. Also, update Genymotion to the most current version.
Follow these steps
Update your Genymotion to 2.5.3
Update your VirtualBox to 5.0
Go to your virtualbox settings, under the general tab on the top left , set the version to windows 10
i tried this , and it worked well
Install Virtualbox Testbuild lastest -> Install Genymotion without Virtualbox ->
Right click Genymotion -> Properties -> Compatibility -> In Compatibility mode, check Run this program in compatibility mode for and selected Windows 8 -> It work for me.
Nothing worked for me. I saw in one post that genymotion 2.0.3 will work out of the box. And it did. The only change I made was:
1. Uninstalled genymotion latest version and Vbox and restarted
2. Installed the last 4.x.x version of vbox
3. Installed genymotion 2.0.3 without installing vbox
its working fine for me now.

I'm unable to launch GenyMotion from eclipse in windows 10. This is happening to me after the recent windows 10 update. The system runs into blue screen error(system service exception) and the system restarts. Please help.Thank you!
I had same issue, but I solved it. SOLUTION is DISABLING HYPER-V.
Windows button -> type Turn Windows Features On/Off -> Uncheck “Hyper-V” -> Click OK -> Wait Until Things Done -> Click Restart
Works like charm…
What version of Genymotion/VirtualBox are you using? More details will help. Also, have you tried running Genymotion from itself instead of the eclipse plugin?
Sounds to me the best solution here might simply to update the plugin, Genymotion, and VirtualBox. If all 3 are up to date, reinstalling them each might help.
Well,to fix the System_Service_Exception error in Windows 10:
Solution 1:
Try To Start The Computer In SafeMode
Windows loads the least amount of drivers and services when it starts in safe mode. This prevents most blue screen errors from triggering, and gives the user a suitable environment to fix the problem, and copy important data.
Upgrade Device Drivers To Fix The System_Service_Exception Error
Most blue screen errors like the System_Service_Exception error occur due to driver issues. The driver might be corrupt or it might not be designed for Windows 10. While many older drivers will work with Windows 10, some do not.
You can upgrade drivers by going to your computer manufacturer’s website and looking for your computer. Once you find your computer’s model, download all the latest drivers and install them one-by-one. Restart the computer if prompted to do so. You can also use a third-party software like DriverDoc to find, download, and install drivers for you.
Windows 10 System Recovery Options
The Windows 10 system recovery options are used to reinstall Windows 10 without losing user data. The recovery options can be used to reset Windows from within Windows 10, and by using a bootable Windows 10 installation or recovery, DVD or USB as well.
Press the Windows Key > click Settings
Click Update & Security > Recovery > Click Get Started under Reset this PC.

Please I have been battling with this for like 2 days now,
pls I am having issues installing connecting my VS 2015 to Xamarin android player.
I have installed
VS 2015
List item
Xamarin Android Player
Enabled Virtualization in my BIOS (windows 10)
Installed Android Studio
Downloaded all the devices I need for debugging in my Xamarin Player.
Oracle VM VirtualBox 5.0.20
I don't know what else to do sir.
it keeps telling me 'Failed to initialized device Nexux 4 (Jelly Bean)'
This helped me to resolve the similar error :
Delete the c:\ProgramData\XamarinAndroidPlayer folder, before reinstalling.
Edit the installeddevices.json files and replace the content with {'machines':[]} to avoid re-installation and to clear all the devices listed.
You'd probably also want to clear out the device vdi folders too.
Solution by #SunnyOkoroAwa after a small discussion.
After the installation of the files I listed above.
Navigate to Network Connections in Control Panel.
Right click on Virtual Box Host-Only Network.
Select Properties.
Check the option VirtualBox NDIS6 Bridge Networking Driver.
Reconnect the network.
I installed Genymotion with a virtual Box and the Genymotion plugin (Android Studio), created a new device and runs properly, even from Android Studio.
However when I hit the Run button, the Genymotion device does not appear on the Device Chooser, it says 'Nothing to Show' under the 'Choose a running device' radio button. How can I get the Genymotion device to appear on the Device Chooser and run my app? Is it something I am missing from the SDK manager?
This happens because Genymotion is shipped with outdated Android tools. To solve follow the steps:
Open Genymotion app,
Go to Settings -> ADB
Select 'Use custom Android SDK tools'
And select location of your Android SDK.
On Mac with a recent version of Studio that would be:
/Users/username/Library/Android/sdk/
I had the same problem,
but I solved it.
Before running genymotion you have to first click on run and wait until project compile and show you the empty device list and then you have to start your genymotion, after that it will appear.
click the run button to compile project
device empty list appear
start genymotion
device will appear in the list
That worked for me. Hope it helps.
Got the same issue on AS 3.3.2, I tried to select location of the Android SDK, or kill / restart the server. Still they didn't work.
After that, I install the genymotion plugin in AS and open the genymotion device manager, then check the actual ip address of the active genymotion device.
adb connect device_ip_address:5555
Now the device can be detected on device chooser.
P.S. Thanks #Ismail Iqbal for pointing out that the genymotion plugin is not necessary. You can also get the ip address from the emulator header.
I also am facing the same issue in new version of Android studio. following is my routine that everyday i am doing to solve this issue:
Click Run icon to see empty list of device
Close this list
Kill adb by:
adb kill-server
Sometime you need to run this command twice.
Start adb again by:
adb start-server
Click run again. Now I will see list of my emulators but not my Genymotion that is already up and running!
I will add my Genymotion by:
adb connect 192.168.56.101
This command has to be run when select device dialog is still open.
Now everything will be OK.
On Android Studio 2 :
Click on button "Attach debugger to Android process" on Toolbar.
Click restart.
Try run again.
Goodluck.
Tools->Android-> Remove check "Enable ADB Integration"
Run your app with appeared device.( you will get an error)
Set check "Enable ADB Integration"
Run your app
You can solve it quickly.
First make sure that genymotion emulator is opend.
close device chooser (On andoid studio)
open task manager(on windows ctrl + shift + esc)
pick process tab
find adb.exe maybe its adb.exe*32
right click and select kill process tree
adb will again appear shortly kill its process tree again( maybe
more than one adb will be found kill all.)
then open device chooser (click run on android studio).
I solved mine by:
First start android studio before starting genymotion. Then run the app in android studio and wait until you see the device chooser then start genymotion
Just in case someone is still looking for an answer. The software versions in which i faced the above issuue is -
Android Studio - 3.3.2
Genymotion - 3.0.1
So, now let's start with the problem. Just try the following steps:
Check if you have enabled Genymotion Plugin in Android Studio. For Windows, go to File -> Settings -> Plugins -> Search for Genymotion and see if it is checked. If you can't find it, Click on Browse repositories , search for Genymotion and install it.
Check the tick in the plugin:
Check if the Genymotion Emulator is running or not and Genymotion Main Screen shows status as Running or ON
(This was my problem. Although my emulator was up and running but Genymotion's Status was showing Booting). It usually takes some time to get the status from Booting to ON
Check for emulator status:
Check if your Min SDK Version is less than the Emulator's SDK Version. I faced it quite a lot in my initial days. For that, Go to your Module:app gradle file and see the Min SDK Version and the Emulators SDK Version is same or higher.
Check for Min SDK Version as highlighted in the image:
Hope this helps. If you still get any problem do let me know.
When you close the device, it is no longer available to the device chooser. You need to keep running the device from Android Studio.
I tried adb kill-server/start-server. But, It didn't worked.
Instead hitting this command 2-3 times quickly worked.
adb reconnect
In my case the genymotion path was not set ..so I solved it by clicking the genymotion icon from the tool bar and enter the path (the default in windows is C:\Program Files\Genymobile\Genymotion) then after starting the emulator it now appears in android studio
First you will have to run the genymotion from the android studio by pressing the genymotion icon after genymotion starts then press the run button, you will see the genymotion device option on deployment target dialog box.
In addition to the answers of this question :
My problem was about windows viruses , Last days i turned off my windows defender and i have't any other antivirus software in my system .
My SDK folder was full of virus , when i scanned Many viruses detected .
After removing viruses from my PC i had to remove SDK completely and download it again .
Finally notice that : For any reason , if the SDK files are
damaged may cause this error .
Now the problem is solved .
For This Problem:
Go to Project structure/project
In project SDK select simulator API version.
Done. Now your genydevice is added in the list.
I've tried from the android studio version 2.0 and the version 2.1, both does not compitable to genymotion. please use the version 1.5.1 or older than that.
I recently upgraded to Windows 10 , Genymotion doesn't seem to be working. It says "Unable to load VirtualBox Engine."
Now i did a bit of research and all the solutions suggested to Delete the Host-only network from Virtual Box settings. Well here's the thing i don't have any networks listed there. And the one which i found on the Network and Sharing center cannot be deleted and when i try to create a new one on virtualbox , it fails .
Even a clean install hasn't solved the issue
here is the screenshot of the problem.
http://i.stack.imgur.com/qwVLh.png
genymotion.exe -> Properties -> tab Compatibility -> In Compatibility mode, check Run this program in compatibility mode for and selected Windows 8 -> check Run this program as an administrator -> Ok
Hope it will solve your problem.
I had installed Genymotion + VBox package, and was having the same problem.
Running in compatibility mode didn't work for me, but this did:
1 - Uninstall VBox. Install latest version.
2 - Download Genymotion without VBox. Install Genymotion.
I had the same problem and just solve it.
uninstall Genymotion and VM VirtualBox and download the full package not from here
The old version has some problems with windows10 that have been solved in the last update.
that works for me.
Reply from (I had the same problem and just solve it.

I always keep downloading in this site (https://www.genymotion.com) in which I always encountered error in file (unable to load virtualbox engine).
But after I read your comment, I decided to look for latest genymotion and virtualbox from other site. And it works perfectly. Thanks.
I just solved the problem. You'll need to uninstall both Virtual Box and GenyMotion from your PC.You'll have to download the complete package(Genymotion + Virtual Box) from the Genymotion site.
Simply install both of them from the same package. And it will solve your problem (:
Reinstalling Virtualbox worked for me.
I have Genymotion 2.3.1 and VirtualBox 4.3.20 installed on Windows 8.1. Other Genymotion devices I have configured (4.2, 4.4) are fine but the Lollipop one will not start.
When I attempt to start it directly from VirtualBox, I get the following errors:
can not find system/bin/install-recovery.sh disabling flash recovery
could not open /sys/class/power_supply/genymotion_fake_path/present
I changed SDK (Android tools directory) manually, but this did not help.
I activated Intel virtualization technology in my bios settings and just update my Genymotion and VirtualBox to Genymotion All in one version.
after a long time wait after genymotion's android Logo, finally The problem solved!
Lollipop not starting from VirtualBox but in genymotion everything is now working fine!
on linux
I have just solved the problem by removing libdrm.so.2 from Genymotion installation dir and rebooting my computer.
If that does not work, you can try to disable GPU open drivers and enable proprietary drivers in System Settings > Software & Updates > Additional Drivers.
Hope this help!
This can also be due to outdated VirtualBox version. Download and install the latest version of VirtualBox.
