Can't update HAXM: "Install Intel x86 Emulator Accelerator (HAXM installer) (revision: 6.2.1)" failed

I am using Android Studio 2.3.3 on Windows 10. I tried to update the Intel Emulator Accelerator (HAXM) using the SDK Manager but it does not work, I get the following message:

To install:
- Intel x86 Emulator Accelerator (HAXM installer) (extras;intel;Hardware_Accelerated_Execution_Manager)

I even manually downloaded the file https://dl.google.com/android/repository/extras/intel/haxm-windows_r6_2_1.zip then unzipped it and executed the file silent_install.bat as administrator. But Android Studio is still displaying 6.2.0 as the installed version. Is there a way to update HAXM?

In order to successfully install or update HAXM on Windows 10 to run Android Emulator, you need to enable Intel VT-x. To enable Intel VT-x, go to Windows BIOS to enable it.

This is not only for running the Android emulator. This problem is faced when running a virtual machine in your Windows as well.

I have currently faced the same issue in Android Studio. I searched all the answers on the web, but nothing worked for me.

After that, I just deleted my Android SDK and installed with the new one. It solves the problem like a charm. You can get the SDK from there official website: Android Studio.

Open a cmd or PowerShell window as administrator.

Then enter the command

bcdedit /set hypervisorlaunchtype off

Restart your PC.

To whom it may concern, I have recently come across this problem and found this article by tektutorialshub very useful. I am quoting a part of the article as it is relevant:

What is Intel HAXM?

The HAXM stands for Hardware Accelerated Execution Manager. It is a cross-platform hardware-assisted virtualization engine (hypervisor), The Android Emulator use HAXM in intel platforms to speedup & improve performance

Why does HAXM Installation fail?

The Android Studio Installs Intel HAXM when you install Android Studio. But you may get the HAXM Installation Failed message because of the following reasons:

  • Android emulator is already running
  • The processor is not Intel-based
  • Unsupported OS
  • Hyper-V Manager must be disabled
  • Virtualization must be enabled in Bios (VT-x)
  • The PC must support Virtualisation
  • Antivirus (Avast) may interfere with HAXM Installation

In my case, I used an AMD processor, so I found this article by Android developers Google blog: Android Emulator - AMD Processor & Hyper-V Support
