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

If you are running a modern Intel processor make sure HAXM (Intel® Hardware Accelerated Execution Manager) is installed:

1. In Android SDK Manager, ensure the option is ticked (and then installed)

2. Run the HAXM installer via the path below:

   your_sdk_folder\extras\intel\Hardware_Accelerated_Execution_Manager\intelhaxm.exe
   or
   your_sdk_folder\extras\intel\Hardware_Accelerated_Execution_Manager\intelhaxm-android.exe
   

This video shows all the required steps which may help you to solve the problem.

For AMD CPUs (or older Intel CPUs without VT-x technology), you will not be able to install this and the best option is to emulate your apps using Genymotion. See: Intel's HAXM equivalent for AMD on Windows OS

Answer 2

Actual error

follow bellow two simple steps to fix.

Step 1:- update "Intel x86 Emulator Accelerator (HAXM installer)" Ref. bellow img

Step2:-

After installing the installer, you have to run it to install it on your system. Open the directory where your Android SDK is located. Go inside the extras\Intel\Hardware_Accelerated_Execution_Manager directory and you should see the intelhaxm-android.exe file.

If you got the error "This computer meets requirements for HAXM, but VT-x is not turned on..." during installation try to turn it on in your BIOS and check your antivirus software settings also. (Check this stackoverflow post). Thats it! its working for me.
