Error: Your cpu does not support required features(vt-x or svm) on AMD CPU under Windows

I keep getting the error noted above when I try to run a virtual device.

My CPU does support virtualisation and it is enabled.

I have ran a virtual device on eclipse before but, for some reason, Android Studio is giving me a hard time.

My CPU is an AMD FX 6350 six core processor 3.90 Ghz running Windows 10.

What do I do if my CPU does not support VT-X?

You can Make an AVD With ARM Instead of HAXM. Other solutions can be just to enable Intel Virtualization Technology from BIAS. Or you can use an alternative emulator like genymotion to fix this problem. If the above solutions bother you then you can use a physical device for testing purposes.

How do I enable VT Intel VT-x AMD-V on PC?

Press F2 key at startup BIOS Setup. Press the right arrow key to Advanced tab, Select Virtualization Technology and then press the Enter key. Select Enabled and press the Enter key. Press the F10 key and select Yes and press the Enter key to save changes and Reboot into Windows.

How do I know if my CPU supports Intel VT and AMD-V virtualization support?

You can use the Intel® Processor Identification Utility to verify if your system is capable of Intel® Virtualization Technology. Using the tool, Select the CPU Technologies tab. See if the Intel® Virtualization Technology options are checked or not.

I had the same problem. Android Studio emulator won't run on Windows with an AMD processor. The error message is kind of misleading, as it suggests the problem is with the CPU. But it is within the troubleshoot message: "Windows/OSX computer with an Intel processor".

Solutions could be installing Linux and running Android Studio on that (which might come with its own issues), using a physical device for testing or using the slow ARM images.

Now, in 2019, Android Studio supports running virtual devices with AMD processor on Windows.

More info at https://developer.android.com/studio/run/emulator-acceleration

Prerequisites:

  • AMD processor with virtualization (most do support it)
  • enabled virtualization in UEFI/BIOS
  • Windows 10 with Windows Hypervisor Platform (available from April 2018 Update, does not have to be Pro, can be Home)
  • Windows Hypervisor Platform must be turned on
  • updated Android Studio
  • Android Emulator must be installed in SDK Tools

If any of these is missing the error message shown is misleading and recommends using an Intel processor or Linux, which is not very helpful.
