I had issues when starting x86 emulator. It was complaining that HAXM is not installed even though Android SDK manager shows it checked. Then I found that I have to run intelhaxm-androd.exe located in my android-sdk/extras/intel/Hardware_Accelerated_Execution_Manager.

I did that and it installed without any issues. I restarted VS2015 and tried running my x86 emulator again but got "Permission denied" error as per screenshot.

Then I changed permission to Full permission on the file in screenshot above and try starting the emulator again but got message that "hypervisor is not running":

UPDATE: Then I found link explaining how to enable Hyper-V using "Turn Windows Features on/off" as per link Unable to start the Windows Phone Emulator

However, after restarting my machine and VS and trying to run Visual Studio Emulator, I ended up with following errors

Hitting Retry in image above started the emulator but with this error:

What are the permissions on that file? – Lynn Crumbling Oct 17 '16 at 17:10
I set to Full permissions on that file but then got error as in the update above "The emulator is unable to start because the hypervisor is not running". Thanks – pixel Oct 17 '16 at 17:18
This question targets the Windows Phone Emulator, but is effectively the same problem: http://stackoverflow.com/q/26070567/656243 – Lynn Crumbling Oct 17 '16 at 17:36
Thanks Lynn, I followed the steps as per answer in the link you provided. That seem to take me step further but with new issues :( – pixel Oct 17 '16 at 18:07
