Android Studio Emulator “/dev/kvm is not found”

Question

Couldn\'t use x86 emulators, AVD manager shows warning \"/dev/kvm is not found\" and telling me to edit BIOS security setting to enable VT-x.

Answer 1

Reinstalling and restarting did not work for me. Instead, I had to start my Mac in Recovery Mode (restart & press ⌘+R until Apple logo appears). Then open terminal from Utilities drop down menu. Type and run:

csrutil enable --without kext

You will get some warnings and instruction to restart for the changes to take effect. Restart and the emulator will run this time.
