HAXM is not installed on this machine

Question

Recently I've installed Xamarin and tried to do a tutorial in Xamarin page beginner. When I am about to compile, it gives me an error:

2>Please ensure Intel HAXM is properly installed and usable.

and

2>CPU acceleration status: HAXM is not installed on this machine

Then I am opening the android SDK Manager, I can't install the HAXM

Some link suggest to download it from intel but I got access denied. And also in my windows feature hyper-v was unchecked

n.b: I am using windows ver.10, VS.studio ver.2017 with i5 processor

Open SDK Manager and download Intel x86 Emulator Accelerator (HAXM installer) if you haven't.
Now go to your SDK directory (C:\users\username\AppData\Local\Android\sdk, generally). In this directory, go to extras → Intel → Hardware_Accelerated_Execution_Manager and run the file named "intelhaxm-android.exe".

In case you get an error like "Intel virtualization technology (vt,vt-x) is not enabled", go to your BIOS settings and enable hardware virtualization.
Restart Android Studio and then try to start the AVD again.

It might take a minute or 2 to show the emulator window.

Please this answer for images Error in launching AVD with AMD processor

@chopperfield Make sure virtualization is turned on in BIOS. – Gabe Sechan Jul 24 '17 at 06:37
@GabeSechan i have turned it on, but still can't install the packages – chopperfield Jul 24 '17 at 07:20
@user2455320 iam using xamarin. still can't installing the packages – chopperfield Jul 24 '17 at 07:29
That's work for me. Why they download it but not preintall it. So we can do some work instead of wasting our time. Thanks @Ashok Kateshiya – Abdullah Khan Jan 25 '20 at 07:08
You will find **Intel x86 Emulator Accelerator (HAXM installer)** in the very bottom of the Android SDK Manager, under **Extras**: https://imgur.com/a/KaaBr05. You probably need to run Android SDK Manager as administrator. – JavAlex Aug 02 '20 at 13:47

Check your system have Intel® VT-x Technology, sometime it is easier to make mistake.

Check your Intel Virtualization Technology state in Task Manager -> Performance -> Virtualization -> Enable or Disable.

In BIOS model :

Even if you do this, it maybe still have no effect :

Config -> CPU -> Intel Virtualization Technology -> Enable
Enable Virtualization like this :

Security -> Virtualization -> Intel(R) Virtualization Technology -> Enabled

If you have turn it on, install the Intel HAXM.

I was having the same problem as chopperfield - specifically where the Android SDK Manager was showing that the HAXM installer was not compatible with Windows. I followed the link ( Intel HAXM - https://software.intel.com/en-us/android/articles/installation-instructions-for-intel-hardware-accelerated-execution-manager-windows ) that @York Shen - MSFT supplied and was able to get it manually installed and running it properly. – Tommy Snacks Sep 13 '17 at 02:40
You literally saved my life, I didn't think to look there, I debugged everything but nothing worked thanks – Alkari Jul 27 '21 at 18:19

If it is Intel processor, then you enable Intel HAXM.

If it is AMD processor then below is your answer.

You absolutely don't need Intel HAXM (Hardware Accelerated Execution Mode) in AMD processors, because they are AMD processors.

Just enable (check) Windows Hypervisor Platform in Windows features as shown below.

Now, you can start emulators. No need of Intel HAXM.

Here is official link: https://android-developers.googleblog.com/2018/07/android-emulator-amd-processor-hyper-v.html

As Ashok Kateshiya post says, do follow same. But for first step that how to get the things, A new user of Android SDK who is going to setup the software may get confused somewhat. SO I am adding some extra details for them. Just see down...

I am adding an image for how to get the first option, here... enter image description here

Now, click apply and follow the steps and atlast click ok butoon.

Now go to your SDK directory (C:\users\username\AppData\Local\Android\sdk, generally). In this directory, go to extras → Intel → Hardware_Accelerated_Execution_Manager. And run the file named "haxm-7.6.5-setup.exe".

Now it will install the exe file and by using a intel interface. And you need not to restart the android studio just run the app it will work fine for you.

Adding an image for succefull completion of installation: enter image description here

Thanks.

Check HAXM installed Goto Controll pannel check HAXM (or check C:\Windows\System32\drivers\IntelHaxm.sys)

You can download HAXM version xxx and install (or you can download in android studio you will see it in you_path\SDK\extras\intel\Hardware_Accelerated_Execution_Manager)

If you install HAXM and get error "VT-x Technology...." => so you much checkin driver BIOS and chipset installed AND CHECKING BIOS Intel(R) Virtualization Technology -> Enabled

If Are you on Windows 7? I suspect this issue only affects 64-bit Windows 7 systems that lack a security patch, which enables support for SHA-256 code signing algorithm:

Try the following...

Download the latest version of HAXM from https://github.com/intel/haxm/releases
Copy the contents of the zip to "..sdk\extras\intel\Hardware_Accelerated_Execution_Manager" (create the folders if they don't exist)
Open a Command Prompt in administrator mode.
Change the directory given in step 2.
Run silent_install.bat. You should see the message "Intel HAXM installed successfully!"
Restart Android Studio and open the emulator again.

HAXM is not installed on this machine
