I can't install intel HAXM

Question

I installed Android Studio and I had no problems with that. However, when I tried to run the emulator, it said that Intel HAXM was not installed.

So I found the inst

Answer 1

After some trials, knowing that I had all the factors stated in this thread and other threads properly configured, I still got this error in Android Studio.

Even after installing externally, it seems Android Studio could not discover that HAXM is already installed, unless it gets to install it itself.

As a solution that worked for me, under User\AppData\Local\Android\sdk\extras\intel\Hardware_Accelerated_Execution_Manager which android has downloaded when attempting to install HAXM, click the installer and uninstall the software, then re-try from Android Studio to install it, it should work now.

Answer 2

Make sure the emulator is not running while installing HAXM. Otherwise, there will be an error which you only see when using the standalone installer but not within Android Studio or IntelliJ Idea.

Answer 3

I've figured out. Try to disable Security Boot Control in BIOS options: http://remontka.pro/secure-boot-disable/ (sorry for russian examples) Or try to start system without Digital signature (only for one loading). I had had many unlucky attempts with 'HAXM installer, before I disabled this line. At the beginning I thought that's because Windows 10 Home was installed, and there're many limits.

Answer 4

Alright, so I did everything I could possibly find online, and nothing worked.

So I went to the Intel website, and I downloaded the HAXM installer that they provide (instead of using the one downloaded through Android Studio).

The installation actually went through with this installer and it was installed successfully. Then I open Android Studio, and the emulator finally loaded!

So, for anyone else having this problem, just download the installer directly from the Intel website.

Answer 5

For me who has an AMD Processor:

1. Click on the windows button in the bottom left hand corner

2. Look for Enable/Disable Windows features (just type : "windows features", it will appear)

3. And contrary to the other posts here, enable Hyper-V and Windows Hypervisor Platform

Answer 6

If you have all gone through this and it still doesn't work and "systeminfo.exe" shows hypervisor is detected then disable Containers in Windows Features. After that all went well.
