I review and try using the information in this two questions

Visual Studio Emulator For Android - Hyper-V No Launch

Visual studio (2015) emulator for android not working - XDE.exe - Exit Code 3

without success.

I try using different android versions of the sdk and the same error always.

I review the hyper-v configuration and the event errors from windows, but nothing is registered.

I tried using Windows 10 Pro X64 and Windows 8 Pro X64, both produce the same error.

I'm running this machines using VmWare workstation 11 from a Windows10 host.

Could anyone knows anything about this error?

As your comment says, to run the emulator within VMWare, you need to disable OpenGL per the answer to this question: Visual studio android emulator will not start fully
