What should we do if we still get errors after installing INTEL HAXM Through sdk Manager In Android Studio
you need to follow steps
windows :
Go to Control Panel -> Programs and Features -> Turn Windows features on or off.
From the window disable Hyper-V options.
3 Reboot your machine.
NOTE : If virtualization is disabled in the BIOS, you need to enable it.
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:

Error in launching AVD with AMD processor
(19 answers)
Closed 6 years ago.
I am getting this error when i tired launching the emulator. Any suggestions?
Cannot launch AVD in emulator.
Output:
emulator: WARNING: VM heap size set below hardware specified minimum of 128MB
emulator: WARNING: Setting VM heap size to 384MB
emulator: ERROR: x86 emulation currently requires hardware acceleration!
Please ensure Intel HAXM is properly installed and usable.
CPU acceleration status: HAXM must be updated (version 1.1.4 < 6.0.1).
After downloading the Intel HAXM from the android studio, you need to install it. Run the setup from Users*name*\AppData\Local\Android\sdk\extras\intel\Hardware_Accelerated_Execution_Manager\intelhaxm-android.exe
Sadly, this can be installed only on computers with Intel CPU's, so you must have an Intel to run the Android Studio emulator.
Have you tried reinstalling Intel HAXM? To do that follow these steps.
1) Open SDK Manager and Download Intel x86 Emulator Accelerator (HAXM installer) if you haven't.
2) 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".
3) Restart Android Studio and then try to start the AVD again.
It might take a minute or 2 to show the emulator window.
See this link
or this (for Windows, see link for Mac/Linux):
Configuring VM Acceleration on Windows
Virtual machine acceleration for Windows requires the installation of the Intel Hardware Accelerated Execution Manager (Intel HAXM). The software requires an Intel CPU with Virtualization Technology (VT) support and one of the following operating systems:
Windows 7 (32/64-bit)
Windows Vista (32/64-bit)
Windows XP (32-bit only)
To install the virtualization driver:
Start the Android SDK Manager, select Extras and then select Intel Hardware Accelerated Execution Manager.
After the download completes, execute /extras/intel/Hardware_Accelerated_Execution_Manager/IntelHAXM.exe.
Follow the on-screen instructions to complete installation.
After installation completes, confirm that the virtualization driver is operating correctly by opening a command prompt window and running the following command:
sc query intelhaxm
You should see a status message including the following information:
SERVICE_NAME: intelhaxm
...
STATE : 4 RUNNING
...
To run an x86-based emulator with VM acceleration:
If you are running the emulator from the command line, just specify an x86-based AVD:
emulator -avd
Note: You must provide an x86-based AVD configuration name, otherwise VM acceleration will not be enabled.
If you are running the emulator from Android Studio, run your Android application with an x86-based AVD:
In Android Studio, click your Android project folder and then select Run > Edit Configurations...
In the left panel of the Run/Debug Configurations dialog, select your Android run configuration or create a new configuration.
Under the Target Device options, select the x86-based AVD you created previously.
Run your Android project using this run configuration.
You can adjust the amount of memory available to the Intel HAXM kernel extension by re-running its installer.
You can stop using the virtualization driver by uninstalling it. Re-run the installer or use the Control Panel to remove the software.
You need to have the latest version on intel haxm driver installed. You seem to have version 1.1.4 and the latest one is 6.0.1
Here is the direct link to download and install https://software.intel.com/en-us/android/articles/intel-hardware-accelerated-execution-manager
enable VT-x for your system, get the latest version of haxm here https://github.com/intel/haxm/releases/tag/v7.4.1 update and u are good to go.
(Or you can use the SDK manager to install it like the other answer suggests)
I'm not able to install Emulator in my laptop. It's showing an error, could someone suggest what should I do ? I've attached the error screenshot :
You need to install HAXM from the SDK Manager and go the root directory and install the HAXM and then you are good to go!!
This problem occurs when the virtualization technology is not enabled for your device.It can be solved by enabling it.
(For a windows based device)Go to
Control Panel->Programs and Features->Turn windows feature on or off->Hyper-V
Check this option and reinstall.
If this option is not present in your computer then try doing from boot-menu:
1.) Press F10 (Computer Boot Up)->BIOS->Security->System Security-> Virtual Technology (VTX)
Enable
Save and Exit
2.)Goto sdk Folder:
F:\Android\sdk\extras\intel\Hardware_Accelerated_Execution_Manager
Run intelhaxm-android.exe
You will see a dialog box which says, "Completed Intel Hardware Accelerated Execution Manager Set Up Wizard. Click the Finish Button to exit the wizard"
Once this works, open android studio, and try running the emulator.
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!
