How to install intel x86 emulator accelerator (haxm) in android studio

Intel Hardware Accelerated Execution Manager (HAXM) is a virtualization engine provided by Intel. It is designed to speed up Android application emulation on x86-based systems. HAXM allows developers to run Android Virtual Devices (AVDs) more efficiently by leveraging the hardware virtualization features of Intel processors. This article focuses on how to manually get the installation fixed if you get this type of error trying to install it directly from the SDK tools of the Android studio.

So what I did was made some research into how to fix this issue and it worked for me, follow along on how to get this fix for you also in no time.

STEPS

1. Go to the control panel on your PC.

Click on programs and features, turn on the Windows features

1. A pop-up that looks like this should be showing on your Windows screen.

   

Two activities will be carried out here,

Firstly:

click on the Hyper-v checkbox to see if both sub-categories is checked

In a case where one is checked and the other is not clickable, follow this simple method to get it back to being clickable...

Methods

• Restart your PC, while in the process hold on to your ESC key, you should get a display on your PC, be prompted to press the F10 key till another display pops up, and select a system boot device option (this should take you to another page)

• From the display, select advance

• From the advance selected, you should see a list of options search for visualization and turn it back on

• save changes

• Exit and start windows

secondly:

Once your PC is now fully powered on, open up your control panel again and follow the same processes to your hyper-visor or hyper-v, click on this, and you should see the unclickable checkbox now active to be clicked, proceed to click on this.

Save changes, you will be prompted to restart your PC, do this and Congratulations your virtualization engine is on to give you the full experience of Android Virtual Devices (AVDs) on your PC while developing mobile applications.

Back to your Studio code, create a new project and select the device pixel of your choice and launch your AVD.

Good luck navigating through this.

I am open for any questions regarding this and suggestions to improve my articles.

Thanks.
