ERROR: x86 emulation currently requires hardware acceleration! (Android Studio)
I'm currently have a problem with my Android Studio because I cannot run any application using an emulator. The full error that comes up when trying to run an application is...
Emulator: emulator: ERROR: x86 emulation currently requires hardware acceleration!
Emulator: Process finished with exit code 1
I have Intel Haxm fully installed (when running intelhaxm-android.exe it only gives me the option to remove) and have tried using both the API 27 and 28.
Any help would be appreciated :)
Answer
I was having the same issue. Doing the following steps solved the issue.
Check if Virtualization is enabled under BIOS. If not, do so. It is usually under CPU settings.
In Android studio, check that under SDK_Manager>Android_SDK>SDK Tools> Intel x86 Emulator Accelerator (HAXM installer) is checked. If not,check it and press OK. It will install HAXM.
If the problem still persists (Which is the usual case for latest Windows 10 updates), on windows control panel search for Turn Windows features on or off. Put check in Window HyperVisor Platform as below.
Now, run AVD and it should work.
