Answer 1

Turn on virtualization technology (VT -x) from bios.

Answer 2

if you have an intel processor just enable intel virtual technology on bios and it will fix the problem.

Answer 3

I had various errors with the Intel HAXM, checked the BIOS and used the check tool, https://github.com/intel/haxm/release:

checktool.exe --verbose

CPU vendor * GenuineIntel Intel64 supported * Yes VMX supported * Yes VMX enabled * Yes EPT supported * Yes NX supported * Yes NX enabled * Yes Hyper-V disabled * Yes OS version * Windows 6.1.7601 OS architecture * x86_64 Guest unoccupied * Yes. 0 guest(s)

I downloaded version 7_5_6 using link above and ran the .bat file from the command prompt to install and it worked.

Visual Studio 2019: The procedure of selecting the HAXM installer in Tools > Android SDK Manager in Visual Studio had problems with process sharing, the stand alone C:\Program Files (x86)\Xamarin\AndroidSDKManager\AndroidSdkManager.exe also gave me errors.

Answer 4

I had this problem. The problem was the version of Intel Accelerated:

Intel® Hardware Accelerated Execution Manager is already installed. The current installation will exit. If you really want to downgrade, you can uninstall the newer version from the control panel first and then install the older version

So, I uninstalled Intel Accelerated from Control panel and installed it again from Android Studio-> Android SDK.

Answer 5

Is more easy, just go in

Apparence & Behavoir > System Settigns > Android SDK and just select HAXM for install...

anyway you need enabled virtualization on your bios.

Answer 6

I got an answer on GitHub:

I have downloaded manually from https://github.com/intel/haxm/releases/download/v7.5.6/haxm-windows_v7_5_6.zip

Unzipped that downloaded file and Install intelhaxm-android.exe

After that I have tried to install HAXM from Android Studio -> SDK Manager and Its get worked.
