Solution

  • After doing some research on this. Finally i solved it out.

    Even i have enable VT-X tech and disabled secure boot. My Android Studio failed to load emulator saying dev/kvm not found.

    This issue came after updating HAXM. I found some useful answers. which tell this issue is in HAXM 7.2.0. See this issue on github

    Steps to solve:

    • Uninstall Haxm from SDK manager.
    • downloaded previous version of HAXM v7.1.0 from this release page.
    • Install this HAXM.

    Now everything should work fine as before.
