HAXM is not installed on this machine

Question

Recently I've installed Xamarin and tried to do a tutorial in Xamarin page beginner. When I am about to compile, it gives me an error:

2>Please ensure Intel HAXM is properly installed and usable.

and

2>CPU acceleration status: HAXM is not installed on this machine

Then I am opening the android SDK Manager, I can't install the HAXM

Some link suggest to download it from intel but I got access denied. And also in my windows feature hyper-v was unchecked

n.b: I am using windows ver.10, VS.studio ver.2017 with i5 processor

Solution 1

1. Open SDK Manager and download Intel x86 Emulator Accelerator (HAXM installer) if you haven't.

2. Now go to your SDK directory (C:\users\username\AppData\Local\Android\sdk, generally). In this directory, go to extras → Intel → Hardware_Accelerated_Execution_Manager and run the file named "intelhaxm-android.exe".

   In case you get an error like "Intel virtualization technology (vt,vt-x) is not enabled", go to your BIOS settings and enable hardware virtualization.

3. Restart Android Studio and then try to start the AVD again.

It might take a minute or 2 to show the emulator window.

Solution 2

Check your system have Intel® VT-x Technology, sometime it is easier to make mistake.

Check your Intel Virtualization Technology state in Task Manager -> Performance -> Virtualization -> Enable or Disable.

In BIOS model :

1. Even if you do this, it maybe still have no effect :

   Config -> CPU -> Intel Virtualization Technology -> Enable

2. Enable Virtualization like this :

   Security -> Virtualization -> Intel(R) Virtualization Technology -> Enabled

If you have turn it on, install the Intel HAXM.

Solution 3

Check HAXM installed Goto Controll pannel check HAXM (or check C:\Windows\System32\drivers\IntelHaxm.sys)

You can download HAXM version xxx and install (or you can download in android studio you will see it in you_path\SDK\extras\intel\Hardware_Accelerated_Execution_Manager)

If you install HAXM and get error "VT-x Technology...." => so you much checkin driver BIOS and chipset installed AND CHECKING BIOS Intel(R) Virtualization Technology -> Enabled

If Are you on Windows 7? I suspect this issue only affects 64-bit Windows 7 systems that lack a security patch, which enables support for SHA-256 code signing algorithm:
