I am trying to develop a mobile application using Android Studio but I am always getting a pop message with below message.

Intel HAXM is required to run this AVD. HAXM device is not found.

enter image description here

Enable VT-x in your BIOS security settings, ensure that HAXM is installed properly. Try disabling 3rd party security software if the problem still occurs.

Things I have tried:

  1. Installed the HAXM installer on SDK Manager
  2. Went to Extras -> Intel -> Hardware_Accelerated_Execution_Manager and run the file named "intelhaxm-android.exe". But getting error message as "Failed to configure driver: unknown error. Failed to open driver."

enter image description here

I am using: Android Studio 3.5 on Windows 7.

  1. Could you kindly let me know that Windows 7 supports Android application development using Android Studio?
  2. Could you kindly let me how this issue can be addressed?

For me, the problem was exactly in the HAXM version (Currently 7.5.4). I rolled back to version 7.5.1 and it worked.

Did the following (For Windows):

  1. Found the HAXM installer (Tools -> SDK Manager, Follow the Android SDK Location\extras\intel\Hardware_Accelerated_Execution_Manager\intelhaxm-android.exe), using it deleted HAXM.

  2. I downloaded HAXM from an older version (7.5.1) from https://github.com/intel/haxm/releases

  3. Installed

  4. Restarted Android Studio and it worked
