Android Studio 3.1.2. AVD Incompatible HAX module version 3,requires minimum version 4

Question

19:58   Emulator: Incompatible HAX module version 3,requires minimum version 4

19:58   Emulator: No accelerator found.

19:58   Emulator: failed to initialize HAX: Invalid argument

19:58   Emulator: emulator: ERROR: Missing initial data partition file: C:\Users\Wolfgang\.android\avd\SAMSUNG_S7_API24.avd/userdata.img

19:58   Emulator: Process finished with exit code 0

I recently updated my Android Studio version and since I work on the version 3.1.2. built 13.04.18 - shown in "About". My old device configured most likely on version 2.1 caused this error first, later I configured a new device with more or less the same parameters: API 24 (Nougat 7.0); Screen 5.1. and this device caused the above error protocol.

My OS is Windows 8.0.

This solution worked for me https://stackoverflow.com/questions/36880552/cpu-acceleration-status-haxm-must-be-updated — Fulano, May 05 '18 at 12:08
Thank you, Fulano, this solution I found before posting my question, but I did not find the 'android SDK folder' so I searched my whole hard disk for the program file 'intelhaxm-android.exe' and found out, that this file is located far away from the folders for the different versions of android studio: The path is — Lobito, May 09 '18 at 15:29
C:\Users\[YourUserName]\AppData\Local\Android\sdk\extras\intel\Hardware_Accelerated_Execution_Manager — Lobito, May 09 '18 at 15:32
But don't bother to find this programm file, it does not soluce the problem. — Lobito, May 09 '18 at 15:47
Yes, it values the pain to search for 'intelhaxm-android.exe' beause in the same folder there is a batchfile 'silent_install.bat' and this file is the one you should start, it will successfully soluce the problem. If not, you found more than one 'intelhaxm-android.exe', so you should try the batch-files in the other folders. Wolfgang — Lobito, May 11 '18 at 15:49

Goto Tools -> SDK Manager below screen will open

then select the Intel x86 Emulator Accelerator (HAXM installer) and apply, it will install the HAXM

Uninstalling and installing what you have highlighted in yellow solved the problem for me, thank you. I also had to disable Hyper-V, because it conflicts with HAXM. – VSO Jan 22 '19 at 15:44
Works great for me – Antonio Reyes Mar 12 '19 at 21:15

Hi Giannis, I was not that luckily, most likely because I deinstalled my older version of Android Studio and then I downloaded the most recent Version. Meanwhile I had to change my computer and now the silent_install.bat has no effect, but the intelhaxm-android.exe I ran 2 times, because the first time I just had the option to uninstall HAXM the second time I could install a HAXM and now I don't have this error. – Lobito Aug 05 '18 at 06:35
I was facing the same error from the original poster and it was solved by updating Intel HAXM, i.e. the first link from this answer. Consider yourself upvoted :) – Sergi Mascaró Dec 02 '18 at 18:04

Here is what i did:

Go to https://github.com/intel/haxm/releases/ and download the latest release.
Install it.
Restart the emulator again.

That is what worked for me.

This also worked for Xamarin Android development, with the same error message. – Max Vargas Apr 25 '19 at 20:42
This solves the error in Visual Studio Xamarin application. Thanks. – Sid Jun 28 '19 at 20:24

Go to $ANDROID_HOME/extras/intel/Hardware_Accelerated_Execution_Manager

and run installer exe (intelhaxm-android.exe). after this everything will be ok.

i was running Android Studio on windows and faced same error but after i seen referenced answer i realized that in some case we have to start HAXM installer manually in order to use it:

So Go to your Android SDK folder, in my case it was C:\Users\[user's name]\AppData\Local\Android\Sdk\extras\intel\Hardware_Accelerated_Execution_Manager\ then there you will see intelhaxm-android.exe file,

Click on it and run it after finishing installation launch the avd device again then it will surely run (at least it ran in my case )

NOTE: if you are running it on Mac then see the Referenced answer it contains detail for windows and Mac Both.
