19:58   Emulator: Incompatible HAX module version 3,requires minimum version 4

19:58   Emulator: No accelerator found.

19:58   Emulator: failed to initialize HAX: Invalid argument

19:58   Emulator: emulator: ERROR: Missing initial data partition file: C:\Users\Wolfgang\.android\avd\SAMSUNG_S7_API24.avd/userdata.img

19:58   Emulator: Process finished with exit code 0

I recently updated my Android Studio version and since I work on the version 3.1.2. built 13.04.18 - shown in "About". My old device configured most likely on version 2.1 caused this error first, later I configured a new device with more or less the same parameters: API 24 (Nougat 7.0); Screen 5.1. and this device caused the above error protocol.

My OS is Windows 8.0.
