I have Intel HAXM installed on my machine along with Atom image. When I fire-up emulator in Android Studio, don't see anything that would tell me if Intel HAXM is being utilized or not.

According to the screenshots on Intel's website, in Starting Android Emulation window in Eclipse, it show a message, informing that Intel HAXM is being utilized.

If your emulator is running with HAXM, you'll see output like this in your run console in Android Studio, with the relevant line being the "HAX is working" bit:

Waiting for device.
/Users/sbarta/sdk/tools/emulator -avd x86-API10 -netspeed full -netdelay none

HAX is working and emulator runs in fast virt mode
Device connected: emulator-5554

enter image description here

Or, according to Intel's official Installation Instructions for Intel® Hardware Accelerated Execution Manager:

To verify that Intel HAXM is running, open a Command Prompt window with administrator privileges (Run as Administrator) and execute the following command:

sc query intelhaxm

If Intel HAXM is working, the command will show a status message indicating that the state is: "4 RUNNING".

    Interesting, for some reason, I don't get the `HAX is working and emulator runs....` Here is the output I am getting: `Waiting for device. "C:\Program Files (x86)\Android\android-studio\sdk\tools\emulator.exe" -avd Nexus5 -netspeed full -netdelay none Device connected: emulator-5554 Device is ready: Nexus5 [emulator-5554] Target device: Nexus5 [emulator-5554]` – newprint Aug 12 '14 at 12:48

According to the Android Studio documentation you can run the following:

$ ./sdk/emulator/emulator -accel-check

And if you see the following you have it installed:

accel:
0
HAXM version 6.0.3 (3) is installed and usable.

    @Mahendran - I saw the same thing, I had to manually install haxm from the github page, and then run the start command from `/Library/Extensions/intelhaxm.kext/Contents/Resources/haxm_start.sh`, and then go into my security settings and allow intel to run – user3606123 Jan 26 '21 at 07:09

It's really easy. just open cmd and do what I did base on below image:

enter image description here

If you see the response like mine, it means that the Haxm is working.

If not running, make sure your processor is capable of running Intel HAXM. You must have VT and ND (aka nx no execute bit) ON in BIOS. (You can read out the nx bit from running bcdedit as admin). But you can't have certain other VT items running (including Hyper-V or VirtualBox). There's an article on troubleshooting Intel HAXM at software.intel.com (search on HAXM).
