Cannot launch AVD in emulator. Please ensure Intel HAXM is properly installed and usable [duplicate]

Question

I am getting this error when i tired launching the emulator. Any suggestions?

Cannot launch AVD in emulator.
Output:
emulator: WARNING: VM heap size set below hardware specified minimum of 128MB
emulator: WARNING: Setting VM heap size to 384MB
emulator: ERROR: x86 emulation currently requires hardware acceleration!
Please ensure Intel HAXM is properly installed and usable.
CPU acceleration status: HAXM must be updated (version 1.1.4 < 6.0.1).

Answer 1

After downloading the Intel HAXM from the android studio, you need to install it. Run the setup from Users*name*\AppData\Local\Android\sdk\extras\intel\Hardware_Accelerated_Execution_Manager\intelhaxm-android.exe Sadly, this can be installed only on computers with Intel CPU's, so you must have an Intel to run the Android Studio emulator.

Answer 2

Have you tried reinstalling Intel HAXM? To do that follow these steps.

1) Open SDK Manager and Download Intel x86 Emulator Accelerator (HAXM installer) if you haven't.

2) Now go to your SDK directory (C:\users\username\AppData\Local\Android\sdk, generally). In this directory Go to extras > intel > Hardware_Accelerated_Execution_Manager and run the file named "intelhaxm-android.exe".

3) Restart Android Studio and then try to start the AVD again.

It might take a minute or 2 to show the emulator window.
