I have been using Android Studio on my computer for about two years now. I recently updated to Windows 10, and have started having a few issues, most of which have been fixed.

However, now I am unable to create emulators of any phone, and Android Studio says "Intel HAXM is required to run this AVD. /dev/kvm is not found. Enable VT-x in your BIOS security settings, ensure that your Linux distro has working KVM module."

Yet this laptop is not running Ubuntu or any other form of Linux. I have tried installing the Intel HAXM from https://software.intel.com/en-us/android/articles/intel-hardware-accelerated-execution-manager-end-user-license-agreement but the emulator is still getting the same error.

Anyone know what I can do to fix this issue?

  • Do you have Hyper-v installed? [See here if you do](http://www.howtogeek.com/213795/how-to-enable-intel-vt-x-in-your-computers-bios-or-uefi-firmware/). – Al Lelopath Apr 28 '16 at 17:13
  • @AlLelopath just checked and I don't have Hyper-v installed – Kinoscorpia Apr 28 '16 at 17:16
  • I removed HAXM and then installed it. It went ok. – Behrouz.M May 05 '16 at 13:47

    uninstalling HAXM then reinstalling from https://software.intel.com/en-us/android/articles/intel-hardware-accelerated-execution-manager resolved the issue for me. Maybe due to HAXM updates since original post. – mcdon Aug 15 '17 at 21:52

I met with the same problem.After searching for answers,I didn't get an accurate answer.I tried in different ways.Finally,I worked it out. First,ensure you have already downloaded HAXM,and enabled VT-x in your BIOS security settings. Second,double click intelhaxm-android.exe in \Android\sdk\extras\intel\Hardware_Accelerated_Execution_Manager,install it. This way works for me.

So I ran into this issue also, however, VT was enabled in the BIOS and I didn't have Hyper-V.

I was able to fix it by uninstalling HAXM

  1. Navigate to

    Control Panel > Programs > Programs and Features

  2. Find

    Intel Hardware Accelerated Execution Manager

  3. Click

    Uninstall

and then reinstalling it,

  1. Navigate to SDK folder

    default path >> C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk

  2. Drill down to the HAXM sub-directory

    \extras\intel\Hardware_Accelerated_Execution_Manager

  3. Run HAMX installer

    intelhaxm-android.exe

finally, I was able to launch Android Studio and run the emulator without the VT-x message.

Either your CPU does not support virtualization, or it is disabled in the bios. Go into your bios and see if you can find a setting to enable it.
