Intel HAXM installs successfully (according to the log) both through Android Studio and directly from Intel's executable. However, Android Studio 2.1 says "HAXM is not installed" and prompts me to install it in an endless cycle (Not installed, install? Installed successfully. Not installed, install?).

Note: it worked fine in the previous version of Android Studio. Since upon upgrading it didn't recognize HAXM, I tried uninstalling Android Studio and reinstalling 2.1, but it still is not recognizing the HAXM installation.

How can I get Android Studio to understand that Intel HAXM is installed?

This is on Windows 10.

Running "silent_install.bat" or "intelhaxm-android.exe" resulted in a log file stating that Intel HAXM had been installed when it actually hadn't.

I was finally able to install HAXM 6.0.1 by extracting "intelhaxm-android.exe" with 7-zip and running "setup.exe" manually.

Now it's recognized by Android Studio.

  • Thank you, that worked. I only wish I found your post before digging into the BIOS settings and all that other nonsense. What a bunch of crap! – degenerate Aug 11 '16 at 01:35

please try to install it from here:

https://software.intel.com/en-us/android/articles/intel-hardware-accelerated-execution-manager

or try to uncheck >> save HAXM installer in your SDK Manager => and install it again

Run the HAXM installer via the path:

your_sdk_folder\extras\intel\Hardware_Accelerated_Execution_Manager\intelhaxm.exe

Take a look at this video : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z7xoPCv3sYs

    Unfortunately, after trying both of your suggestions, Android Studio still claims that HAXM is not installed (despite the installer saying that it installed successfully). – sjw May 11 '16 at 11:05
  • Thanks for your updated answer, but it still doesn't recognize HAXM. Note that the latest version of Intel HAXM is named intelhaxm-android.exe and executing it doesn't display an install wizard like the one in the video you linked to. It creates a haxm_silent_run.log file that contains the text, "Intel HAXM installed successfully!" But Android Studio still says it's not installed. – sjw May 11 '16 at 12:41

The link to the youtube from mounir elfassi's answer on this problem worked for me in 2021.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z7xoPCv3sYs

In this tutorial, He go to the HAXM file location where it is already downloaded by android studio and installs it manually.

I tried the same method and my problem was solved.

  • Yes, it works for me. I have to install HAXM manually. – Boris Kamtou Mar 04 '22 at 12:22
  • Thanks... This solution from the video worked for me. I had to install HAXM manually. Then I changed the Virtual Device RAM allocation to the same size of the HAXM allocated RAM size. 1024 MB in my own case. – Kelly Oct 29 '22 at 08:47

After trying to install manually by going to file path -

~\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk\extras\intel\Hardware_Accelerated_Execution_Manager

Sometimes the HaxmSetup.exe does not install and shows an error"The system requirements are not satisfied".

This error can have multiple reasons,

  • Hyper-V is enabled.
  • Virtualisation is disabled.
  • ...

I found the solution here

For my device the virtualization was disabled, and it can be easily checked by going to task manager and then under performance tab below the CPU utilization graph.

Then you have to enable it by going into BIOS setting of your device. It is different for every device so it is better you search where can you find virtualization settings for your device.

  • If you are using a link for your answer, consider explaining the answer in the link in your own words a little more. In case the link gets broken or unavailable for some reason, your answer will still be accessible in that way. – because_im_batman Aug 09 '21 at 09:49

I solved it by: 1- going to my android sdk. 2- open 'extras' file then 'intel then 'Hardware_Accelerated_Execution_Manager'. 3- Finally 'haxm-7.6.5-setup' to setup manually. this should work will with you as happened with me.
