HAXM device is not found in Windows 7
Solution 1
For me, the problem was exactly in the HAXM version (Currently 7.5.4). I rolled back to version 7.5.1 and it worked.
Did the following (For Windows):
Found the HAXM installer (Tools -> SDK Manager, Follow the Android SDK Location\extras\intel\Hardware_Accelerated_Execution_Manager\intelhaxm-android.exe), using it deleted HAXM.
I downloaded HAXM from an older version (7.5.1) from https://github.com/intel/haxm/releases
Installed
Restarted Android Studio and it worked
Solution 2
To solve this problem, download and install this update https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=46148 from Microsoft and then restart your computer.
This solved it for me on windows7 64 bits and android studio 3.5.3
I hope it will help you as well.

I am trying to develop a mobile application using Android Studio but I am always getting a pop message with below message.
Intel HAXM is required to run this AVD. HAXM device is not found.
Enable VT-x in your BIOS security settings, ensure that HAXM is installed properly. Try disabling 3rd party security software if the problem still occurs.
Things I have tried:
- Installed the HAXM installer on SDK Manager
- Went to Extras -> Intel -> Hardware_Accelerated_Execution_Manager and run the file named "intelhaxm-android.exe". But getting error message as "Failed to configure driver: unknown error. Failed to open driver."
I am using: Android Studio 3.5 on Windows 7.
- Could you kindly let me know that Windows 7 supports Android application development using Android Studio?
- Could you kindly let me how this issue can be addressed?
