Android Studio - Enable VT-x in your bios setting

Question

When ever I try to run an emulator I see this error "Intel HAXM is required to run this avd /dev/KVM is not found. Enable VT-x in your BIOS security setting, ensure that your Linux distro has working KVM module'

I have already installed haxm through SDK successfully , Also I have enabled virtualization in the security tab. The thing that is confusing me now is why does it say Linux distro in the error message when I'm running windows 7 on a HAXM and VT supported PC?

Answer 1

If you have AMD CPU:

1. Boot into BIOS by pressing F2 or delete (Asus Motherboard).
2. Click Advanced -> CPU Configuration -> SVM Mode, Enable SVM Mode
3. Save and Reboot

I too had the same problem. Today (13-11-17) I solved it.

These are the steps to solve the problem-

1)Go to Android Studio Preferences.
2)Appearance and Behavior --> System Settings --> Android SDK.
3)Copy the Android SDK location Path.
4)Go to the path.
5)In the path folder open "extras" folder then open "intel" then open "Hardware_Accelerated_Execution_Manager"
6)The double-click on IntelHAXM_[version number here].
7)The Re-Install IntelHAXM.
8) Open Emulator.

It should work fine.(It worked for me)

Answer 3

If you're not using an Intel CPU, it's not gonna support HAXM no matter what you install.

You have to enable virtualization technology in your computer's bios. Please visit this for further instructions
