HAXM installation fails claiming VT-X not present

Question

I'm having difficulties trying to install HAXM for my emulator in Android Studio. I have an hp2000 notebook; I updated Windows 8.1 to Windows 8.1 Pro to activate the Hyper-V feature and I even went to system settings to enable virtualization, but am still getting "This computer does not support Intel virtualization (VT-x). HAXM cannot be installed. Please refer to the Intel HAXM documentation for more information."

My Android Studio SDK manager is showing that it's installed.

Solution 1

Just follow these steps:

1. Go to Control Panel → Program and Feature.
2. Click on Turn Window Features on and off. A window opens.
3. Uncheck Hyper-V option and restart your system.
4. Now, you can Start HAXM installation without any error.

Solution 2

This procedure worked perfectly for me. Hope this helps.

1. F10 (Computer Set Up) - BIOS - Security -System Security -Enter - Virtual Technology (VTX)-Enable-FileSave and Exit
2. Goto sdk Folder: F:\Android\sdk\extras\intel\Hardware_Accelerated_Execution_Manager Run intelhaxm-android.exe
3. You should be seeing a dialog box which quotes, "Completed Intel Hardware Accelerated Execution Manager Set Up Wizard. Click the Finish Button to exit the wizard"

Once this works, open android studio, and try running the emulator. You should be seeing "HAX is working and emulator runs in fast virt mode"

After enabling the virtulization in-bios do hard restarting via power button solved my problem:). I read in intel blog to do so. So try this option it may help:)
