warning: quick boot/snapshots not supported on this machine

Question

I have an error when running my app using android studio, but before that it was working okay until an update(Android API27), I have tried uninstalling it but nothing,the warning am getting is;

Emulator:Warning:Quick Boot/Snapshot not supported on this machine.A CPU + UG feature is currently needed. We will address this in a future release.

How do I resolve this problem?

Answer 1

a friend just told me the solution, so please find it here!

The issues have to do with the specific device you're trying to emulate and the processor you have (intel core 2 or older)

To solve it:

1. Create a new emulator
2. Select the device you would like to emulate.
3. On the next page with the header "System Image" select the tab "other images"
4. Download and select an image that is listed as armeabi-v7a under the ABI column.

That image should run successfully with your processor.

That's the solution! Hope it helps :)

Answer 2

The issue might be your CPU hardware. AVD Google API levels 21+ do not run well on CPUs that do not support Extended Page Tables (EPT) and Unrestricted Guest (UG), such as Core 2 Duo. Your best option is to try a system image with AVD Google API level <= 20 on those type of CPUs. You still will see the warning but the emulator will boot up.

Update: I had further issues and it seems the only way to boot to a usable system image is to go with an armeabi-v7a version on Core 2 Duo chips.

I had the same problem. I tried to update my HAXM on my windows-7 using this resource file from the official site - software.intel.com. Also available from the Intel HAXM github page.

So as I said after updating my HAXM-Windows from version 6.1 to 7.1.0 my Emulator in Android Studio started to work!!!
