Why is the intel x86 emulator accelerator (HAXM installer) is showing not compatible with windows?

Question

Why is the intel x86 emulator accelerator (HAXM installer) is showing not compatible with windows. I have windows 10 ,64 bit.

Solution 1

• Check your system have Intel® VT-x Technology.
• If yes then goto bios settings and turn it on.
• Check This Link : https://software.intel.com/en-us/android/articles/installation-instructions-for-intel-hardware-accelerated-execution-manager-windows.

Solution 2

I did face the same issue (standalone sdk manager showing that its not windows compatible).

Step 1: Open Settings -> Android SDK -> SDK Tools Tab

Select the HAXM entry (see the last entry)

It installed it successfully!!

NOTE: This actually just downloaded the installer. It did not install it.

Step 2: In order to install check the installer at following location:

Run the intelhaxm-android.exe



Step 3: Restart Android Studio

Solution 3

Maybe Virtualization option is disabled in BIOS settings. Enable it for HAXM to work.

Solution 4

Because it is not compatibility with Windows, it depends on your CPU (every windows > Windows 7 is compatible but as name says, it is intel so I wouldn't expect anything on AMD CPU) but you have to check in your BIOS if there is option named: Intel Virtualization Technology.

If there is not, you can't emulate anything

If there is just turn it on

Like each of these answers say (in slightly different ways, but this one seems best) - this is NOT Operating System depedent, but it CPU processor dependent (must be running Intel)
