I have installed Android Studio 3.3.1 and everything worked perfectly until I closed it. When I try to open a run again my project it says:

Intel HAXM is required to run this AVD

Unknown error, What should I do?

Open File Explorer,
Go to C:\Users\ YourUserName \AppData\Local\Android\Sdk\extras\intel\Hardware_Accelerated_Execution_Manager
Double click on haxm-7.6.5-setup File and Install

This worked for me

Also check hardware acceleration turned on in BIOS

File not found. I have a dir Android\Sdk\extras\intel, but it's empty – Nygaard 7/4, 2023 at 19:56

Please check hardware acceleration turned on in BIOS – Uniformitarian 3/7, 2023 at 17:47

Mohammed: yeah, BIOS hardware acceleration seems to be a key part of a complete answer to the question. – Nygaard 4/7, 2023 at 12:37

In my case, I installed software which is required to enable Hyper-V. If you also face it, check it.
On Window (I mean I config on Window, not Ubuntu or MacOsX), it's in "Turn Windows feature on or off". Uncheck Hyper-V and restart your computer.

Disable Hyper-V? Other answers say to enable it!?!? – Nygaard 7/4, 2023 at 20:16

When Android Studio is open, click Configure on lower right corner, then select SDK Manager from the list. Head over to SDK Tools

Look for Intel HAXM and make sure it's checked. If not, check the box and click apply.
And you are good to go.

Make sure it is installed along with the Android Emulator. Then it should work.

How to install it manually. I want to install the latest version 7.4.1 or the previous 7.3.0? – Roof 21/5, 2019 at 13:0

This didn't work for me. Even after installing with this step, Android Studio kept telling me HAXM wasn't installed. After doing this step though, I was able to find "haxm-7.6.5-setup.exe" in "~\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk\extras\intel\Hardware_Accelerated_Execution_Manager" and running that setup file fixed the issue. – Supremacy 15/4, 2021 at 19:28

Fails with "Intel® HAXM installation failed. To install Intel® HAXM follow the instructions found at: github.com/intel/haxm/wiki/Installation-Instructions-on-Windows" – Nygaard 7/4, 2023 at 20:11

Enabling

Hyper-V

or

Windows Hypervisor Platform

fixed the problem for me

Really? Other answers say to disable hyper-v!?!? – Nygaard 7/4, 2023 at 20:8

@Nygaard : were you able to solve it? I cannot find any of the solution working here and dont have hyper-v in windows feature. I am running on i3 first gen – Gamester 10/4, 2023 at 11:8

@yesarpit: I got it working yes. I think I did enable the hyper-v feature, but I'm I don't quite remember (there's often a fog about what I try and didn't try) and even if I did I don't know whether that helped at all. Eventually, I read the last dialog of the HAXM installer that said I needed to enable virtualization in the BIOS. After doing that (which was a hassle!) it started working. ... I think this may be one of those issues where there's no one answer. I think there are several things one must do to get the emulator/simulator/avd working. Good luck!! – Nygaard 11/4, 2023 at 13:7

This worked although other answers told to disable Hyper-V but mine was already disabled. So turning that windows feature on fixed it. – Pleura 17/9, 2023 at 15:51

Try install it manually. You will find the .exe setup here ~\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk\extras\intel\Hardware_Accelerated_Execution_Manager

Run the setup file haxm-7.6.5-setup.exe, which is found in ~\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk\extras\intel\Hardware_Accelerated_Execution_Manager.

This is pretty old question, but I got the error when trying to run an android emulator/simulator/avd (whatever it's called) after installing android studio 2022.1 on a clean windows 11 laptop.

First, why the heck does Android Studio require an optimization in order for the emulator to work? I would expect it to work regardless; maybe slower without the optimization. But that's neither here nor there. It is required and it's a PITA.

Other answers say you need to enable windows feature Hyper-V (or Windows Hypervisor Platform) and others say you need to disable it!! I don't think it matters. I tried it with and without and seems to have no effect -- either to fix the problem or to cause the problem once I did get it fixed.

But, maybe it does need to be enabled (or disabled) in some situations like older Android Studio or Windows 10 or other computers. So many, configurations.

Anyway, what I had to do was read the message at the end of HAXM installed :). Normally, the last message of an installer is super boring so I never read it. But, this one said I needed to enable virtualization in the BIOS. Doing that was a PITA, but it did fix the problem.

FWIW I installed HAXM 7.8.0 directly, not via Android Studio. But, it might work via AS too.

Go to turn windows feat on or off -> check enable in Hyper-V

(remember that you have to install HAXM first)
