HAXM is not installed on this machine

Question

Recently I've installed Xamarin and tried to do a tutorial in Xamarin page beginner. When I am about to compile, it gives me an error:

2>Please ensure Intel HAXM is properly installed and usable.

and

2>CPU acceleration status: HAXM is not installed on this machine

Then I am opening the android SDK Manager, I can't install the HAXM

Some link suggest to download it from intel but I got access denied. And also in my windows feature hyper-v was unchecked

n.b: I am using windows ver.10, VS.studio ver.2017 with i5 processor

Answer 1

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".

   In case you get an error like "Intel virtualization technology (vt,vt-x) is not enabled", go to your BIOS settings and enable hardware virtualization.

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

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

Answer 2

Check your system have Intel® VT-x Technology, sometime it is easier to make mistake.

Check your Intel Virtualization Technology state in Task Manager -> Performance -> Virtualization -> Enable or Disable.

In BIOS model :

1. Even if you do this, it maybe still have no effect :

   Config -> CPU -> Intel Virtualization Technology -> Enable

2. Enable Virtualization like this :

   Security -> Virtualization -> Intel(R) Virtualization Technology -> Enabled

If you have turn it on, install the Intel HAXM.

Answer 3

If it is Intel processor, then you enable Intel HAXM.

If it is AMD processor then below is your answer.

You absolutely don't need Intel HAXM (Hardware Accelerated Execution Mode) in AMD processors, because they are AMD processors.

Just enable (check) Windows Hypervisor Platform in Windows features as shown below.

Now, you can start emulators. No need of Intel HAXM.

As Ashok Kateshiya post says, do follow same. But for first step that how to get the things, A new user of Android SDK who is going to setup the software may get confused somewhat. SO I am adding some extra details for them. Just see down...

Now, click apply and follow the steps and atlast click ok butoon.

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 "haxm-7.6.5-setup.exe".

Now it will install the exe file and by using a intel interface. And you need not to restart the android studio just run the app it will work fine for you.
