Android Studio, emulator, HAXM, VT-x not working

Rachel picture Rachel · Oct 2, 2015 · Viewed 17.7k times · Source

I am trying to use the Android Studio emulator on Windows 10. I can't install the HAXM in the SDK folder because VT-x is not enabled. I tried disabling the Secure Boot Control in the UEFI Firmware Settings. I also tried turning off Hyper-V off in Windows Features on/off. I also tried turning off the hardware visualization setting in Avast. None of these are working and I am still unable to install HAXM.

Just follows these steps:

  1. Go to Control Panel → Program and Feature.

  2. Click on Turn Window Features on and off. A window opens.

  3. Uncheck Hyper-V option and restart your system.

Now, you can Start HAXM installation without any error.

Hyper-V is only found in Windows8.

So follow these steps

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
