Android Studio 3.0.1 Emulator Not Loading

Question

my emulator stopped working after the most recent update. I am currently using the HAX module to run the emulator.

I cannot seem to find the updater for the Intel module (forgive me, I recently started using Android Studio).

Below is the event log which appears when I try to load the emulator:

21:41   Emulator: failed to initialize HAX: Invalid argument

21:41   Emulator: Process finished with exit code 0

Some help would be greatly appreciated! Also, if you find any more problems which could cause further issues to my program, please do notify me.

I had the same problem. I went to the Intel site (https://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/intel-hardware-accelerated-execution-manager-intel-haxm) and downloaded the latest version of HAXM. I then installed it, and the problem went away!
