I can't seem to run my AVD on Android Studio

Question

I'm getting an error while running my AVD on Android Studio. Below screenshot is the error.

After doing some Googling, I understand that the HAXM installer needs to be installed from the SDK Manager. I did that (screenshot below)

Doing some further research, it seems like I need to execute an .exe file from the Android Studio folder. However, the SDK folder seems to be missing for me.

I'm stuck in a loop here, I'm not sure what to do. Is anyone able to assist with this? I enable virtualization in my BIOS but it didn't do the trick. My processor is also supported according to the intel website. Thank you.

I don't have an exact answer for your issue, but I would HIGHLY recommend using [genymotion](https://www.genymotion.com/#!/). Much quicker and reliable emulator. — mray190, May 27 '15 at 11:41

Use Genymotion as your emulator. Fast and reliable. The solution below is from a possible duplicate question to yours.

After you download it and make sure you run the setup located in: {SDK_FOLDER}\extras\intel\Hardware_Accelerated_Execution_Manager\intelhaxm.exe

Note: in Android Studio, the command "intelhaxm.exe" has been changed to "intelhaxm-android.exe"

If you get the error "VT not supported" during the installation disable Hyper-V on windows features. You can execute this command dism.exe /Online /Disable-Feature:Microsoft-Hyper-V. You will also need "Virtualization Technology" to be enabled on your BIOS

if my answer helped you, please accept it by clicking the tick :) — Yohan Blake, May 27 '15 at 12:52

If that doesn't work try the ARM virtual device instead because your PC might not be intel HAXM compatible(mine wasn't). There might be some other options too for other types of virtual devices you can use. I recommend you try the ARM one if it doesn't work.
