I have been trying to run an Android Emulator on a Windows Azure VM. The VM is a Standard D4s v3 (4 vcpus, 16 GiB memory) running Windows Server 2016, so it should support nested virtualization.

I have installed and configured the following:

  • Android SDK, version 30.1.5.0
  • Hardware acceleration:
  • Intel HAXM 7.6.1
  • Tested Android versions: 7.0, 7.1, 8.0, 8.1, 9.0, 10.0
  • GPU mode used: swiftshader_indirect

I keep getting an exception popup regarding the GPU as follows:

GPU #1
Make: 1414
Model: Microsoft Basic Render Driver

Some users have experienced emulator stability issues with this driver version.
As a result we're selecting a compatability render.

Is it possible to run an Android Emulator on a Windows Azure VM?

According to the docs from Microsoft, Android Emulator only runs on the Hosted macOS agent.
