Honestly it's ridiculous that this isn't documented better and it's just assumed everyone is going to be running Intel processors.

I have IntelliJ installed, and I'm trying to run an Android Virtual Device so that I can start learning development with Dart/Flutter.

The Java and Android SDKs are properly configured in my project. The only issue is that I can't get a damn emulator to run because IntelliJ keeps complaining about not having HAXM installed, despite the fact that I can't even install it on this machine because it's not an Intel processor.

I have enabled both HyperV and HVPX from within the Windows Features dialog. I have restarted. However when I go into the AVD manager in IntelliJ and attempt to create a new device I still get the HAXM is not installed message.

I have created a Pixel XL device, with Android API 29 (Q), a CPU/ABI of x86 and a target of Android 10.0. However when I try to run this all I get is a popup saying Intel HAXM is required to run this AVD. HAXM is not installed.

I do not want to use HAXM, I cannot use HAXM. I want to run this emulator through IntelliJ on my AMD processor. How do I do this?

  • Given that [HAXM is enabled for AMD processors](https://android-developers.googleblog.com/2018/07/android-emulator-amd-processor-hyper-v.html), you can at least mention CPU model, PC model, version of Windows, as well check that you aren't running any other VM at the same time. – Morrison Chang Jan 11 '20 at 18:02

I had the same problem. This solved the issue for me. Android Emulator Hypervisor Driver. Hope this helps!

You should try the following steps:

  1. Go to sdk manager
  2. install android hypervisor driver for AMD processor,
  3. restart intelliJ.

NOTE that HAXM is only for machines running on intel processors.
