Your CPU does not support VT-x. Intel HAXM is required to run this AVD. Your CPU does not support VT-x.

Unfortunately, your computer does not support hardware accelerated virtualization. Here are some of your options: 1) Use a physical device for testing 2) Develop on a Windows/OSX computer with an Intel processor that supports VT-x and NX 3) Develop on a Linux computer that supports VT-x or SVM 4) Use an Android Virtual Device based on an ARM system image (This is 10x slower than hardware accelerated virtualization)

What do I do to get around this limitation?

  • Follow the link in previous comment and this one http://stackoverflow.com/questions/26355645/error-in-launching-avd-with-amd-processor there a lot of explanation there with screen shots of BIOS and other things. There are more posts on the right pane, section called "Related". This topic has a good coverage. – Konstantin Ivanov Sep 22 '16 at 20:18

According to Android Documentation, to run an emulator the development system's CPU should support one of the following virtualization extensions technologies:

  • Intel Virtualization Technology (VT, VT-x, vmx)
  • AMD Virtualization (AMD-V, SVM) -- only supported for Linux

Your CPU is Intel Pentium B940, which according to the manufacturer does not support Intel Virtualization Technology (VT-x). That's the reason for this error.

The workaround is to use an alternative Android Emulator, e.g. Genymotion.

  • Just an addition, BlueStacks also works as an Emulator and is currently running Android 7.1.1 (SDK 25). If you enable adb through BlueStacks Settings/Preferences, you can Logcat/Debug/Profile as necessary. – Pam Nov 15 '19 at 17:21

If you are facing this issue with Mac M1 then just download Emulator provided by google and install it manually.

A solution from Android Studio documentation: If you have an AMD processor in your computer you need the following setup requirements to be in place:

  1. AMD Processor – Recommended: AMD® Ryzen™ processors
  2. Android Studio 3.2 Beta or higher – download via Android Studio Preview page
  3. Android Emulator v27.3.8+ – download via Android Studio SDK Manager x86 Android Virtual Device (AVD) – Create AVD
  4. Windows 10 with April 2018 Update
  5. Enable via Windows Features: “Windows Hypervisor Platform”.

Restart your system. For more visit: Android: Your CPU does not support VT-x
