The error says that your system supports HAXM but Intel Virtualization Technology is not turned on. But I checked that Virtualization is enabled. What to do now?
Go into your BIOS setup and enable VT-x.
I was unable to get it installed and ended up installing the GenyMotion Android Emulator. It worked and is fast.
This is a really good video showing how to enable virtualization in Bios. I'm not sure why, but if you're using the Intel Processor Identification Utility, it says that virtualization is enabled, but that really only indicates that your computer supports virtualization, not that it's actually enabled. Once you've enabled VT-x in the Bios, you should be able to install HAXM and run your emulator much more quickly!

When I try to run android emulator I got following error and my emulator doesn't start at all.
Error:
Please check if you can update your video driver.
If it doesn't help, try to Edit the AVD and set "hw.gpu.mode=off".
When I set hw.gpu.mode=off then emulator starts but it super extremely slow even if I add 4GB of ram. I think it's due to hw.gpu.mode=off. Is there any other workaround still to use gpu?
Componenets which are enabled:
Hyper-V
Virtual Machine platform
Windows Hypervisor Platform
Virtualization enabled in BIOS
Besides I've tried different fixes available on internet like : disabling enabling Hyper-V & Windows Hypervisor platform including system restarts etc but none seems to work yet.
On my BIOS i have option for Virtualization, but even after enabling it am not able to install HAXM. I tried unchecking hyper-V.
All my attempts failed in installing HAXM. Please suggest some solution.
Please confirm if your OS is indeed sensing that virtualization is enabled.
Download the Intel Processor Identification Utility for windows.
Check it out here -> Intel tool
Once it is installed go to, CPU technologies tab and below you will see Intel Virtulization Technology and opposite to that you will see either a Yes or No.
There is a tool available from Microsoft also.
Check it here ->
Microsoft tool
If it's a no, you may wanna check bios settings again for enabling virtualization option and then try checking the status again.
If it's a Yes then try installing Intel HAXM. If it's still No, maybe your OS is having some problem.
I want to install Intel HAXM (to make the android emulator faster) but the installer says that my computer "does not support Virtualization Technologies (VT-x)".
Is there a way that my admin can enable this for a VDI?
enable VT-X from BIOS in your boot menu. Then visit the intel page for downloading the HAXM installer. use a search engine to find it...
my pc has 8 gb ram, intel i5-4rth gen , 2 gb nividia card.
win 7
my emulator of API 21 is very slow and laggy even after installing intel HAXM manually.
I have done everything that has been discussed here. please suggest me something.
In my case the problem was Avast's "Hardware assisted Virtualization". When I disabled it by going to Avast>Settings>Troubleshooting>Uncheck "Enable hardware-assisted virtualization" and rebooted the PC emulator became super fast and responsive.
Uncheck "Enable hardware-assisted virtualization" from Avast>Settings>Troubleshooting
Reason: Only one software can use VT-x at a time. This is the reason why we have to disable Hyper-V before using HAXM.
If you are using another anti-virus or some software that is using Hardware virtualization feature, try disabling it.
I`m have same issue (i5, integrated video, W10x64), and today was found a way to fix:
add "-gpu guest" parameter to emulator.exe
Unfortunately, it should be started from a .bat file or command prompt.
Whole launch string look like
emulator #avd_name -accel on -gpu guest
Hope this helps
After the download from the SDK manager you have to launch the IntelHAXM.exe that you can find inside the Android SDK manager folder, precisely in
extras/intel/Hardware_Accelerated_Execution_Manager
to run the emulator in the new Android Develop Studio, I need to turn on the virtualization support (VT-x) on my guest windows 7 running in KVM, which in turn is on RHEL6.
Google shows we need vmx & vme in the guest processor definition, which I have them as 'require' from dumpxml. But in Android Develop Studio in my guest win7, it still complains about missing virtualization support.
Cannot launch AVD in emulator.
Output:
emulator: ERROR: x86 emulation currently requires hardware acceleration!
Please ensure Intel HAXM is properly installed and usable.
CPU acceleration status: HAX kernel module is not installed!
I then download 'haxm-windows_r05' and run 'intelhaxm.exe' to install it, with error:
VT not supported
This computer does not support Intel Virtualization Technology (VT-x). HAXM cannot be installed.
Please refer to the Intel HAXM documentation for more information.
In summary, my guest (windows 7) on KVM (running on RHEL 6) can not turn on Intel Virtualization Technology (VT-x).
Thanks for any help

Unfortunately, RHEL6 lacks support for Nested Virtualization. RHEL7 does but it's still very premature and new changes keep getting added. Your best bet is to install the current upstream kernel. To enable Nested Virtualization, load kvm_intel with "modprobe kvm_intel nested=1".
And ofcourse, you need to advertise vmx in your cpu definition.
