HAXM device is not found in Windows 7

I am trying to develop a mobile application using Android Studio but I am always getting a pop message with below message.

Intel HAXM is required to run this AVD. HAXM device is not found.

enter image description here

Enable VT-x in your BIOS security settings, ensure that HAXM is installed properly. Try disabling 3rd party security software if the problem still occurs.

Things I have tried:

  1. Installed the HAXM installer on SDK Manager
  2. Went to Extras -> Intel -> Hardware_Accelerated_Execution_Manager and run the file named "intelhaxm-android.exe". But getting error message as "Failed to configure driver: unknown error. Failed to open driver."

enter image description here

I am using: Android Studio 3.5 on Windows 7.

  1. Could you kindly let me know that Windows 7 supports Android application development using Android Studio?
  2. Could you kindly let me how this issue can be addressed?

For me, I uninstall 7.6.5 from SDK manager and download 7.6.6 from https://github.com/intel/haxm/releases, install it as Administrator, then reboot. It works.

For me this problem was solved by disabling Hyper-V on Windows 10.
The below are the steps to disable Hyper-V:

  • In "Control Panel", select "Programs and Features".
  • Select "Turn Windows features on or off".
  • Expand "Hyper-V", expand "Hyper-V Platform", and then clear the "Hyper-V Hypervisor" check box.

For me, the problem was exactly in the HAXM version (Currently 7.5.4). I rolled back to version 7.5.1 and it worked.

Did the following (For Windows):

  1. Found the HAXM installer (Tools -> SDK Manager, Follow the Android SDK Location\extras\intel\Hardware_Accelerated_Execution_Manager\intelhaxm-android.exe), using it deleted HAXM.

  2. I downloaded HAXM from an older version (7.5.1) from https://github.com/intel/haxm/releases

  3. Installed

  4. Restarted Android Studio and it worked

To solve this problem, download and install this update https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=46148 from Microsoft and then restart your computer.

This solved it for me on windows7 64 bits and android studio 3.5.3

I hope it will help you as well.
