Android Virtual Device & Intel HAXM

I've just set up a new PC with Android Studio, and can't launch any Virtual Devices. When I start a device I get the message-

Starting emulator for AVD 'Nexus_5_API_21_x86'
emulator: ERROR: x86 emulation currently requires hardware acceleration!
Please ensure Intel HAXM is properly installed and usable.
CPU acceleration status: HAX kernel module is not installed!

When I run the HAXM installer, it says 

This computer meets the requirements for haxm but intel virtualization is not turned on

But in BIOS its definately ticked as being ON.

Any ideas why I can't get it working ? Thanks.

Solution

  • so some antivirus prevent HAXM running, and make sure you don't have Windows Hypervisor running. (Under programs list, windows, under H).
