Issue running Android Emulator

I don't know what I am doing wrong. I originally had vxt enabled on this computer and was able to run emulator from Android studio. HAXM is installed and I thought I had re-enabled everything correctly but I must be missing it. I have read through the threads here and too this is not a new computer, it is a new hard drive. UEFI bios, I cannot run an emulator from Android studio. Presently I am updating Android Studio which is the last thing I wanted to do, I cannot however see another choice at the present time. Does anyone have any idea of what I am missing? It was working with the old hard drive. Windows 7-64 bit. Thanks a lot for any help.

I also faced this issue before some days when i updated HAXM. Before that update i was able to run Android Emulator.

After doing some research on this. Finally i solved it out.

Even i have enable VT-X tech and disabled secure boot. My Android Studio failed to load emulator saying dev/kvm not found.

This issue came after updating HAXM. I found some useful answers. which tell this issue is in HAXM 7.2.0. See this issue on github

Steps to solve:

  • Uninstall Haxm from SDK manager.
  • downloaded previous version of HAXM v7.1.0 from this release page.
  • Install this HAXM.

Update!

If you are not able to solve this still after lot search and this solution, then you should use GenyMotion because it is very light weight (150mb ram) than Android Emulator (2gb ram). Also it is faster than Android Emulator (that hangs apps UI some time). GenyMotion is also suggested by great developers.
