Why is the intel x86 emulator accelerator (HAXM installer) is showing not compatible with windows. I have windows 10 ,64 bit.
HAXM is a cross-platform hardware-assisted virtualization engine (hypervisor), widely used as an accelerator for Android Emulator and QEMU. It has always supported running on Windows and macOS, and has been ported to other host operating systems as well, such as Linux and NetBSD.
Intel HAXM requires the Android SDK to be installed (version 17 or higher). For best performance, using SDK version 2.0 or higher is recommended. Recent Windows or Mac OS X (32/64-bit).
I did face the same issue (standalone sdk manager showing that its not windows compatible).
Step 1: Open Settings -> Android SDK -> SDK Tools Tab
Select the HAXM entry (see the last entry)
It installed it successfully!!
NOTE: This actually just downloaded the installer. It did not install it.
Step 2: In order to install check the installer at following location:
Run the intelhaxm-android.exe
Step 3: Restart Android Studio
