Genymotion Emulator Error in Android Studio

Genymotion Emulator Error

I'm repeatedly getting this error

Genymotion Error

After reading this thread Android Studio doesn't see genymotion

I have successfully included my ADB Location in Genymotion

ADB Location

But it is still showing me Android Studio "Status Off" message Status Off

This was the default configuration of the Emulator Genymotion Emulator Setting

And this was the Oracle Virtual Box Setting !OVB_Setting

And after reducing the system processor from 4 to 2 and removing all the Emulators in my Android Studio. It's still giving me the error mentioned in the top. And this is Virtual Box Error:

Virtual Box Error

What am I doing wrong here?

Solution

  • There are two possible issues here.

    If you use Windows Creator Update and your version of VirtualBox is the one bundled with Genymotion (5.0.28), then you need to update to VirtualBox 5.1.26 (see https://www.genymotion.com/help/desktop/faq/#compatible-virtualbox-versions)

    If this does not help, you might have a firewall which prevents the communication between Genymotion and VirtualBox. In this case, looking at the VBoxHardening.log file mentioned in the last screenshot can help figuring it out. You can find more information about this file in this post from VirtualBox forum.
