Installing Intel HAXM again will re-enable Android emulator acceleration.
Using Intel HAXM
Intel HAXM requires an Android x86 system image provided by Intel. These images can be downloaded through the Android SDK manager or manually from the Intel Developer Zone website.
Intel x86 Android emulator images will automatically be executed using the «emulator-x86» binary, provided with the Android SDK. If Intel HAXM is installed and working, emulation will be accelerated by Intel HAXM (using Intel Virtualization Technology).
Troubleshooting
Execute Disable Bit capability error
When installing Intel HAXM, you may encounter an error regarding Execute Disable Bit support.
This error message can be triggered by the following conditions:
- Execute Disable Bit is not supported by your computer’s processor.
- Execute Disable Bit is not enabled.
Execute Disable Bit is not supported
Intel HAXM requires an Intel processor with Execute Disable Bit functionality and cannot be used on systems lacking this hardware feature. To determine the capabilities of your Intel processor, visit http://ark.intel.com.
Execute Disable Bit is not enabled
In some cases, Execute Disable Bit may be disabled in the system BIOS and must be enabled within the BIOS setup utility. To access the BIOS setup utility, a setup key must be pressed during the computer’s boot sequence. This key is dependent on which BIOS is used but it is typically the F2, Delete, or Esc key. Within the BIOS setup utility, Execute Disable Bit may be identified by the terms «XD», «Execute Disable», «No Execute», or «Hardware DEP», depending on the BIOS used.
Windows hosts may need to enable DEP (Data Execution Prevention) in addition to Execute Disable Bit, as described in this Microsoft KB article: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/875352.
For specific information on entering BIOS setup and enabling Execute Disable Bit, please contact your hardware manufacturer.
Intel Virtualization Technology (Intel VT-x) capability

Intel VT-x not enabled
In some cases, Intel VT-x may be disabled in the system BIOS and must be enabled within the BIOS setup utility. To access the BIOS setup utility, a key must be pressed during the computer’s boot sequence. This key is dependent on which BIOS is used but it is typically the F2, Delete, or Esc key. Within the BIOS setup utility, Intel VT may be identified by the terms «VT», «Virtualization Technology», or «VT-d.» Make sure to enable all of the Virtualization features.
For specific information on entering BIOS setup and enabling Intel VT, please contact your hardware manufacturer.
Tips and Tricks
Below are some recommendations to get the best experience out of the Android emulator using the Intel HAXM driver.
- Enable the GPU acceleration in the AVD Manager for your image. The Intel HAXM driver executes most CPU instructions natively through Intel Virtualization Technology in the processor and the GPU acceleration offloads the OpenGL calls to the host GPU.
- Make sure the «ANDROID_SDK_ROOT» environment variable is set either in Control Panel > System > Advanced System Settings > Environment Variables or manually each time a new command prompt is launched. The <sdk install location> below typically refers to «c:\Users\<your username>\AppData\Local\Android\sdk»
- set ANDROID_SDK_ROOT=<sdk install location>
- Launch the emulator from the command line to get more verbose output. Use the following command:
- %ANDROID_SDK_ROOT%\tools\emulator –avd <avd_name> -verbose –show-kernel
- It is recommended to disable Hyper-V on Windows 8, 8.1 and 10. As Sandbox,Windows Hypervisor Platform(WHPX) and Windows Subsystem for Linux 2 (WSL2) conflict with HAXM, please disable them on Windows 10 build 1903 or higher version.The best way to disable Hyper-V is as below,
- Open an elevated (i.e. Run as administrator) Command Prompt.
- $bcdedit /set hypervisorlaunchtype off
- Reboot your machine
- Avast Antivirus may interfere with HAXM and cause Android Emulator or QEMU to run very slowly. A workaround is to uncheck «Use nested virtualization where available» in Avast Settings > Troubleshooting.
- More command line options for booting the emulator can be found at Android developer website.

Recently, I have been experimenting with fast virtualization open-source software called Qemu. Before long I discovered that Qemu performs better if we use a hypervisor so that the virtual machines have direct access to the hardware. If you are using Qemu on a Windows host then you can use Intel’s HAXM hypervisor which is acronym for Intel Hardware Accelerated Execution Manager. You can install HAXM in Windows and then you can use it in Qemu and other virtualization software like Android Studio.
Unfortunately, when I tried to install HAXM on my Windows 10 PC, it failed with an error – “The computer does not support Intel Virtualization Technology (VT-x) or it is being exclusively used by Hyper-V. HAXM cannot be installed”. It mentions to disable Hyper-V from Windows Features.
If you have also come across the same error then you can proceed using the following steps:
- Open an elevated command prompt (Win+X then select Command Prompt (Admin)) and enter the following commands:
dism.exe /online /Disable-Feature:Microsoft-Hyper-V bcdedit /set hypervisorlaunchtype off
- Download Device Guard and Credentials Guard readiness tool from https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=53337. Extract its contents to a folder, e.g., D:\dgreadiness_v3.6.
- In the elevated command prompt, enter this command:
@powershell -ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned -Command "D:\dgreadiness_v3.6\DG_Readiness_Tool_v3.6.ps1 -Disable"
- Restart your Widows PC. At boot when asked, disable Device Guard and Credentials Guard by pressing Windows key.
- When Windows has started, you should check whether your PC is ready for installing HAXM. This is done by downloading the latest version of HAXM from https://github.com/intel/haxm/releases/latest extracting it to a folder and launching haxm_check.exe. It should show YES for both VT and NX support.
- Now you can finish installing HAXM on your Windows 10 PC by running intelhaxm-android.exe. After this, you should be ready to use HAXM hypervisor in Qemu without any problems.
HAXM is available for those Intel processors only that come with VT-x technology built inside. It is a great alternative for KVM which is used under Linux.

Summary
Installing Intel HAXM is a must if you want to run Android Emulator in Windows PC. Without which the Android Emulator will run very slowly. It is installed, when Android Studio is installed, but you get the HAXM Installation Failed error message. The most common error is due to the fact that Virtualisation is not enabled on your PC. Or because HyperVisor is running or the processor is not intel based. We learned how to solve all these issues in this guide
HAXM is a cross-platform hardware-assisted virtualization engine (hypervisor), widely used as an accelerator for Android Emulator and QEMU.
If you are an android developer, you need not be told the importance of HAXM to android development. In fact in most cases, you can’t run your app after development with HAXM installed on your computer.
Something I noticed is that Windows 10 does not automatically install HAXM during installation. Even when you try to install this tool via prompts from its unavailability windows, it still fails to install leaving the android developer in a frenzy mode, and unable to test or run their projects.
I recently encountered this challenge, and after fixing it, I now want to let those who may be facing a similar challenge know how to install the Intel HAXM (Intel Hardware Accelerated Execution Manager) from android studio.
Below are three methods you can use to install Intel HAXM on your computer — Windows PC, Mac, Linux and other operating systems. At least one of the following methods should work on your OS.
