5. Uncheck Hyper-V from there

I was having a similar problem. It worked out that I hadn't got the HAXM-Installer installed on my PC.

To do this go to: Tools -> Android -> SDK Manager -> SDK Tools (Tab) -> Check the Intel x86 Emulator Accelerator (HAXM installer) option then click apply (As shown in the image below).

well, i turned off hyper-v on optional windows components (saim's suggestion). enabled virt in bios. then i went to find the haxm reinstall, and only found this file, C:\Users\ich\AppData\Local\Temp\intel\HAXM\1.1.1\silent\hax64.msi (i have a 64 bit box), ran it, and android studio 1.5.1 is happy. windows 10. hope that helps.
