Intel HAXM under a guest OS (Windows 10) running on Linux (KVM) crashes in Android emulator

Need help about Intel HAX which crashes under Windows 10 when running Windows 10 as a guest OS in a VM.

Some background information:

Hypervisor: KVM (virt-manager on ubuntu 16.10)
Guest operating system: Windows 10
Nested virtualization allowed
VT-X in Bios set
Intel HAX installed (latest version)
Android Studio (Version 6 as image for the Android emulator)

Problem: When I run Android Studio and use Intel (x86) boot option to show up Android Emulator, Windows crashes completely. The error is a problem with a sys file of Intel HAX. Unfortunately I expected some wrong behavior of the Windows 10 running as VM with some nested virtualization components. In arm-mode I can start up the Android emulator but it's very slow. Is there a solution to use Google Intel (x86) Android image anyway? Some special key to start the emulator with?

The emulator is not really intended to be run in this configuration. You can try several things:

  • Run the emulator from the cmd line with the -no-accel flag.
  • Uninstall HAXM.

Note that performance will not be very good.

If possible try to run the emulator in the linux host, or under a linux guest.
