android Intel haxm bug

I have installed android studio and in order to use emulators on my pc I did try to install intel HAXM. It prompted for error due to lack of intel vt-x support and I tried to enabled this options with many tricks which explained in detail here. After many changes, intel processor identification utility which was installed on my windows 10 pro, reported that intel vt-x is enabled on my pc and also a utility called haxm_check.exe reported that intel vt-x and nx is enabled on my pc. but when i tried to install intelhaxm-android.exe version 7.0.3 it prompted that vt-x or nx is missing and rolled back the setup. Can somebody figure out what is wrong or how can I resolve this issue?

List of things to check is much larger for this issue. Also posted at https://stackoverflow.com/a/53676171/975887 likely after you checked it.

Below is the full list for Windows (so far as of circa 12/2018)

  1. Check BIOS

    • go into BIOS/UEFI setup and look for settings like VT-x, VT-d, Virtualization Technology, Hardware Virtualization and make sure it is Enabled. If the option is not there, check with your manufacturer and model to make sure it is supported.

  2. Disable Hyper-V

    • Type 'windows features' into start menu, select 'Turn Windows Features On or Off'.
    • Unselect all Hyper-V related options, press OK, Reboot.
    • This will break any Hyper-V VMs you have, including any Windows Phone emulators and anything else you have setup that requires Hyper-V
    • Reboot Required
    • on an admin command prompt, run systeminfo. If it shows 'hypervisor is detected' under Hyper-V requirements, even after removing Hyper-V feature, you may have 'Core Isolation' enabled. See below on how to disable it.
    • As another option, try enabling 'Windows Hypervisor Platform' if you still want your Hyper-V support. More info here

  3. AMD Ryzen ?

    • If your CPU is AMD Ryzen, you may need to enable 'Windows Hypervisor Platform' feature just like you disabled Hyper-V above.
    • If it is enabled and still things don't work, try disabling it. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
    • Reboot required
  4. Disable Antivirus
    • Try disabling your antivirus.
    • AVAST! and a few others interfere with the detection of virtualization. You can enable them after.
    • AVAST and some others also has some options that uses virtualization based isolation. Either disable them or temporally uninstall your AV.

  5. Disable Core Isolation

    • Clean installs of Windows 10 1803 enables Core Isolation by default, which runs secure processes inside a virtualized container for security. This interferes with the detection of virtualization.
    • Machines that upgraded from an earlier version have this disabled, but check anyway.
    • Go to Windows Defender Security Center
    • Device Security > Core Isolation > details
    • Disable Memory Integrity
    • Reboot

  6. Disable hypervisor launch at boot

    • on an admin command prompt, run bcdedit /set hypervisorlaunchtype off
    • reboot
    • to revert run bcdedit /set hypervisorlaunchtype auto and reboot

  7. Nothing works

    • You shouldn't get here, since Android emulator can now run alongside with Hyper-V if you have 'Windows Hypervisor Platform' is enabled.
    • If nothing above works, as a last resort you can try running Android in a Hyper-V VM and get ADB to connect to it. (Not a solution, but a workaround)
    • You can also run android using a third-party emulator like Genimotion.
  8. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
