I really hated this awful problem after upgrading Windows 10 Anniversary Update  version 1607   It s just about Driver Signing Changes in Windows 10  If you force install HAXM  you have to disable Driver Signature Enforcement too    Restart W10 in Safe Mode  Enter Troubleshoot  Advanced options Startup Settings  Choose  Disable driver signature enforcement  When Windows 10 loaded  install HAXM latest version

I tried all of the above methods   I wasn t running Avast  tried Oracle VirtualBox  and then tried to install the HAXM software from the intel link   None of these worked  I was still getting the same error   What did work  and I m not sure why  was to install another Android simulator that is available from Genymotion   I was actually very surprised that it did work because during the process of creating the Android virtual device  I received an error that the Hypervisor was not turned on   However  setup continued and the Genymotion simulator runs successfully   Genymotion is free for personal use   This was on a Lenova T430 laptop

Some manufacturers lock out the bios menu so that you can t turn VT on if this is the case there is another way to turn it on using a program called CPUID  Check out this video if this is your problem  https   www youtube com watch v YPjTFam30kc

1st  uninstall antivirus     I had avast but I believe AVG also affects it and probably many more  just turning off the the anti virus dose not work  it has to be completely uninstalled and then the computer restarted  then run the install of the Intel HAXM  once this is complete the anti virus can be reinstalled like normal    2nd  turn off hyper-V      This is a setting only found on the windows Pro and enterprise  this is used to create windows mobile apps  but is you are using other software s like HAXM this needs to be off  to do this go to  control panel  all control panel items  Programs and Features  turn windows features on or off  then un-tick hyper-V

If your emulators were working and now they aren t due to Avast     Avast no longer has the option for  Enable Hardware-assisted Virtualization  in Troubleshooting   it s now March 2017   Avast captures  emulator exe   which disables emulators and stows it in the Virus chest   Open the chest   Restore and add to exclusions  and your emulator works again
