Android Studio - Enable VT-x in your bios setting

Question

When ever I try to run an emulator I see this error "Intel HAXM is required to run this avd /dev/KVM is not found. Enable VT-x in your BIOS security setting, ensure that your Linux distro has working KVM module'

I have already installed haxm through SDK successfully , Also I have enabled virtualization in the security tab. The thing that is confusing me now is why does it say Linux distro in the error message when I'm running windows 7 on a HAXM and VT supported PC?

Answer 1

You have to enable virtualization technology in your computer's bios. Please visit this for further instructions

Answer 2

I too had the same problem. Today (13-11-17) I solved it.

These are the steps to solve the problem-

1)Go to Android Studio Preferences.
2)Appearance and Behavior --> System Settings --> Android SDK.
3)Copy the Android SDK location Path.
4)Go to the path.
5)In the path folder open "extras" folder then open "intel" then open "Hardware_Accelerated_Execution_Manager"
6)The double-click on IntelHAXM_[version number here].
7)The Re-Install IntelHAXM.
8) Open Emulator.

It should work fine.(It worked for me)
