If you have an AMD Ryzen processor in your computer you need the following setup requirements to be in place:

AMD Processor - Recommended: AMD® Ryzen™ processors
Android Studio 3.2 Beta or higher - download via Android Studio Preview page
Android Emulator v27.3.8+ - download via Android Studio SDK Manager
x86 Android Virtual Device (AVD) - Create AVD
Windows 10 with April 2018 Update
Enable via Windows Features: "Windows Hypervisor Platform"

Note:There is Hyper-V features... You should enable Windows Hypervisor Platform not Hyper-V. Windows Hypervisor Platform is at the bottom

After conditions done avd x86 work without haxm install

In many cases some antivirus also start HyperV with window start and does not allow HAXM to install  I faced this issue because of AVAST antivirus  So I uninstalled AVAST  then HAXM installed properly after restart  Then I re-installed AVAST   So its just a check while installing  as now even with AVAST installed back   HAXM works properly with virtual box and android emulators

After I installed Visual Studio 2013 Update 2  Visual Studio notified me about a Windows Phone emulator update  which I installed  it was really a new component  not an update   It turned out this enabled Hyper-V  which broke HAXM   The solution was to uninstall the emulator from Programs and Features and to turn off Hyper-V from Windows Features  search for  Windows Features  and click  Turn Windows features on or off

Seems like the list of fixes is growing  even years after since the original question  Below is the full list for Windows  so far as of circa 02 2020   If you have Windows 10  with all updates installed and you believe  Hyper-V is disabled Microsoft Defender s Memory Integrity Core Isolation is disabled Antivirus is disabled  try Step 6 below  It is likely the cause  Also to see if your fix worked  you can manually download the Intel HAXM installer here   Latest version of HAXM may not be the same as what comes from Android Studio   Before starting the install  run the haxm check exe included in the download from command line  If your fix worked  it should show yes for both NX and VT  If you just double click haxm check exe you won t see anything  Run it from cmd or powershell to see the output    Check BIOS   go into BIOS UEFI setup and look for settings like  VT-x VT-d Virtualization Technology Hardware Virtualization    make sure it is Enabled  If the option is not there  check with your manufacturer and model to make sure it is supported   Disable Hyper-V   Type  windows features  into start menu  select  Turn Windows Features On or Off   Unselect all Hyper-V related options  press OK  Reboot  This will break any Hyper-V VMs you have  including any Windows Phone emulators and anything else you have setup that requires Hyper-V Reboot Required on an admin command prompt  run systeminfo  If it shows  hypervisor is detected  under Hyper-V requirements  even after removing Hyper-V feature  you may have  Core Isolation  enabled  See below on how to disable it  As another option  try enabling  Windows Hypervisor Platform  if you still want your Hyper-V support  More info here   AMD Ryzen     If your CPU is AMD Ryzen  you may need to enable  Windows Hypervisor Platform  feature just like you disabled Hyper-V above  If it is enabled and still things don t work  try disabling it            Reboot required   Disable Antivirus   Try disabling your antivirus  AVAST  and a few others interfere with the detection of virtualization  You can enable them after  AVAST and some others also has some options that uses virtualization based isolation  Either disable them or temporally uninstall your AV    Disable Core Isolation   Clean installs of Windows 10 1803 enables Core Isolation by default  which runs secure processes inside a virtualized container for security  This interferes with the detection of virtualization  Machines that upgraded from an earlier version have this disabled  but check anyway  Go to Windows Defender Security Center Device Security  gt  Core Isolation  gt  details Disable Memory Integrity Reboot    Disable hypervisor launch at boot   on an admin command prompt  run bcdedit  set hypervisorlaunchtype off reboot to revert run bcdedit  set hypervisorlaunchtype auto and reboot You can probably set it to auto after the emulator has installed  But may need to set to off reboot the next time you create an emulator download and install an emulator image     Nothing works   You shouldn t get here  since Android emulator can now run alongside with Hyper-V if you have  Windows Hypervisor Platform  is enabled  If nothing above works  as a last resort you can try running Android in a Hyper-V VM and get ADB to connect to it   Not a solution  but a workaround  You can also run android using a third-party emulator like Genimotion                Debug on a physical device  Edits New fixes welcome  hope this helps

In Windows 10  Windows Defender has a feature of core isolation which uses virtualisation technology that will also interupt in working of HAXM  Disable it and try again  In my case disabling it solved my issue

I m running Windows 10 and had this problem after I changed my SSD  I fixed it by disabling the VT support on Bios  I got a different error after I ran the installer  I rebooted and enabled VT support again and voila  working now

User · Answer

Maybe VT-X is not enabled in your BIOS   See Intel HAXM documentation here  http   software intel com en-us articles installation-instructions-for-intel-hardware-accelerated-execution-manager-windows     Intel VT-x not enabled      In some cases  Intel VT-x may be disabled in the system BIOS and must   be enabled within the BIOS setup utility  To access the BIOS setup   utility  a key must be pressed during the computer   s boot sequence    This key is dependent on which BIOS is used but it is typically the   F2  Delete  or Esc key  Within the BIOS setup utility  Intel VT may be   identified by the terms  VT    Virtualization Technology   or  VT-d     Make sure to enable all of the Virtualization features

If you dont find Hyper-V option in control panel as said in other responses here  try entering BIOS setup  restarting and pressing F-12 or ESC or other depending on your PC  and enabling Virtualization  located probably in CPU options

I already tried all of the possible solutions on stackoverflow and didn t work What I tried   Disable Hyper-V in windows feature Disable Hyper-V with command Disable Device Guard etc etc Above solution still give me information about Hyper-V in System Information and the HAXM still failed to install   But finally I found the solution  you have to disable Hyper-V from System Configuration   Open System Configuration Click Service tab Uncheck all of Hyper-V related  Check System Information then Hyper-V is off now

Anti-virus software may interfere with the HAXM installation  After trying to figure out what went wrong for a few hours I found a strange solution - uninstalling my anti-virus software   installing HAXM  which worked  and then re-installing the anti-virus software  Avast in my case but it could happen with other anti-virus programs as well   The full check I went through to get this running is    Check the  Virtualization  and vt-X feature in the BIOS   Verifying Hyper-V is not installed  Checking weather vt-X is enabled in windows with the Intel tool and  MS tool  mentioned in previous posts in this thread   Disabling the anti-virus which didn t help  Uninstalling the anti-virus  which solved the problem for me

User · Answer

First of all make sure you enabled Virtualization Technology in your BIOS  After restarting your computer press F1-F12 on your keyboard and find this option  Make sure you disabled Hyper-V in your Windows 7 Windows 8  You can turn it off in Control Panel -  Programs -  Windows functions You can try to disable your antivirus program for the whole installation process  Remember to restore all antivirus services after installing HAXM  Some people recommend cold boot which is     Disabling Virtualization in your BIOS Restart computer and turn it off Enable VT in your BIOS Restart computer  turn it off It s likely that now might be allowed to install HAXM    Unfortunately this step didn t work for me   Last but not least  try this workaround patch released by Intel    http   software intel com en-us blogs 2013 04 25 workaround-patch-for-haxm-installation-error-failed-to-configure-driver-unknown  All you have to do is to download the package  unzip it  put it together with HAXM installator file and run  cmd file included in the package - remember  start it as an Administrator   I had a lot of problems with installing HAXM and only the last step helped me
