HAX kernel module is not installed

Question

I have just downloaded latest android studio from official android site and installed it. But I am getting this error instead of having Intel X 86 Emulator accelerator. What

Answer 1

Try installing it again with the stand alone installer https://software.intel.com/en-us/android/articles/intel-hardware-accelerated-execution-manager-end-user-license-agreement - assuming you have a CPU that supports Virtualization, have turned off antivirus and any hypervisor.

Answer 2

Turning off HyperV on windows 8.1 did the trick for me

dism.exe /Online /Disable-Feature:Microsoft-Hyper-V

Answer 3

First you need to turn on virtualization on your machine. To do that, restart your machine. Press F2. Goto BIOS. Make Virtualization Enabled. Press F10. Start windows. Now, goto Extras folder of Android installation folder and find intel-haxm-android.exe. Run it. Start Android Studio. Now, it should allow you to run your program using emulator.

Answer 4

After reading many questions on stackoverflow I found out that my CPU does not support Virtualization. I have to upgrade to the cpu which supports Virtualization in order to install Intel X 86 Emulator accelerator(Haxm Installer)

Answer 5

Recently, I have faced this issue. And fixed it by changing CPU/ABI from Intel Atom (x86) to ARM(armeabi-v7a).

• Select the Virtual Device. Click on Edit
• Click on CPU/ABI option
• Change it to ARM(armeabi-v7a) from intel. Click OK

Job done.

Answer 6

Since most modern CPUs support virtualization natively, the reason you received such message can be because virtualization is turned off on your machine. For example, that was the case on my HP laptop - the factory setting for hardware virtualization was "Disabled". So, go to your machine's BIOS and enable virtualization.
