Keep getting this error and have tried pretty much everything I have found on this website and no luck.SS
It means that the hardware acceleration is either disabled or not available for your cpu.
Most intel chips and amd chips have this feature. All AMD Ryzen cpus have this feature. Check the website for your cpu if it is available.
Now if it is disabled then you can go to bios to enable it.
If you are on amd cpu then it won't work with windows os. Windows os can support only intel cpus for hardware acceleration using haxm or recently on Ryzen cpus with windows 10 latest april update and hyper-v enabled.
If you are using amd cpus before the ryzen series, you can switch to any linux distro which will be fine, at it has kvm for hardware acceleration.

I have been trying to build some app with my laptop through the help from Android Studio. But before I am able to create a new virtual device (running the emulators), the system told me that "Your CPU does not support required features (VT-x or SVM)".
However, when I use CMD to check, it show that Virtualization Enabled in Firmware = yes. Thus, what exactly is VT-x or SVM? How should I do to be able to continue writing for app.
MY PROCESSER : AMD Ryzen 7 2700X
MY SYSTEM : Windows 10
LAPTOP BRAND: LENOVO YOGA 530-14ARR
Really trying to not create a duplicate.
I've read the closest SO on this and it is quite old:
Android Studio and Ryzen CPU?
It's time to upgrade my hardware since my i7, 8GB RAM laptop can no longer run Android Studio and the emulator at the same time (major memory issues). Unfortunately, my laptop can only go to 8GB.
I am definitely considering a Ryzen 5 or 7 since I can save so much $$$ (compared to similar Intel choices).
On Ryzen, can I run the normal HAXM emulator? The one I'm used to running on my i7? Or do I have to run something different?
Does anyone have comparison stats? My i7 starts the emulator just about instantly on my i7. But I can no longer run the emulator and android Studio (AS) at the same time (due to RAM being eaten up by AS and associated Java runtimes).
Is running on the Ryzen not solid? Am I going to see a lot of crashes? Is it going to be so slow it drives me crazy? If not I'd rather pay the extra for the Intel chip?
Hope someone out there is an Android dev and has experience to share.
Win10 Version?
Also, I just read the requirements for Hyper-V. I'm running Windows Home edition. Do I need Windows Pro or Enterprise to run with Ryzen 5/7? Will I be required to use Hyper-V?
The following is from : https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/virtualization/hyper-v-on-windows/quick-start/enable-hyper-v
Windows 10 Enterprise, Pro, or Education
64-bit Processor with Second Level Address Translation (SLAT).
CPU support for VM Monitor Mode Extension (VT-c on Intel CPUs).
Minimum of 4 GB memory.
The Hyper-V role cannot be installed on Windows 10 Home.
I found the following information from July 09, 2018 (a while ago and AS 3.2 was out) that seems to indicate that :
1. Android emulator is supported and will run with AMD Ryzen chips
2. You will need to turn on Windows HyperVisor Platform (which should be available via Windows 10 Home)
https://android-developers.googleblog.com/2018/07/android-emulator-amd-processor-hyper-v.html
It also states (my emphasis shown where I am confused -- not sure what Hyper-V running at same time gives me) :
If you want to use Hyper-V at the same time as the Android Emulator
on your Intel processor-based computer, you will also need the same
Android Studio and Android Emulator versions as listed above, but with
the additional requirements:
Enable via Windows Features: "Hyper-V" - Only available for Windows 10 Professional/Education/Enterprise
Intel Processor : Intel® Core™ processor that supports Virtualization Technology (VT-x), Extended Page Tables (EPT), and
Unrestricted Guest (UG) features. Additionally VT-x needs to be
enabled in the BIOS.
More Info - Definitive Answer
My son has a machine with Gigabyte m/b and a Ryzen 5 2600x and we installed Android Studio 3.5 and made the appropriate changes tonight.
The board / CPU supports SVM (virtualization technology) so we made
that change in the BIOS.
Next we turned on the Win10 setting for Windows HyperVisor Platform.
We downloaded an x86 Oreo image via Android Studio / AVD Manager and ran it and it runs very fast and smoothly on that machine (16GB RAM).
We didn't see any problems. Loaded up a basic template app and deployed it to the Android VM and it ran great. It all looks good to me. Support for Ryzen seems to be just fine. I will be buying a board and Ryzen just like his.
Update - 2020-03-23
I did purchase the Gigabyte mainboard and the Ryzen 5 2600x and I've been running it for over 6 months now and running current versions of Android Studio (keeping it updated) during that time.
I have 16GB RAM and the CPU can run Android Studio and at least two emulators running at the same time with no problems at all.
Ubuntu Linux / Windows 10 Home Edition Dual Boot
I dual boot my machine running Ubuntu and Win10. I run Ubuntu 90% of the time because Android Studio runs so smoothly on it, but I also boot in to Win10 and Android Studio runs fine there too. (Home edition works fine.)
This confirms that the AMD processors work completely fine running the Android emulators.
I would like to run an AVDM.
I'm running Lubuntu as a guest on a MAC OS X host.
What i'm doing wrong?
KVM is required to run this AVD.
HAXM requires a Genuine Intel processor.
Unfortunately, your computer does not support hardware accelerated virtualization.
Here are some of your options:
1) Use a physical device for testing
2) Develop on a Windows/OSX computer with an Intel processor that supports VT-x and NX
3) Develop on a Linux computer that supports VT-x or SVM
4) Use an Android Virtual Device based on an ARM system image
(This is 10x slower than hardware accelerated virtualization)
I know there are a lot of similar questions out there, and I am new to Android world. I get the following errors as I try to run app (Shift + F10)
Intel HAXM is required to run this AVD.
Your CPU does not support VT-x.

When I do dxdiag on this computer(windows 10) I get the following. Its long but the system information is as below. I am not able to determine if my PC can be used to develop android application. Can someone please help me? Is virtualization required to develop android apps?
In here it is suggested that we have to enable VT-x in bios, but I dont see anything of that sort in my bios. Is there a way out of my predicament?

Make an AVD With ARM Instead of HAXM -
Go to Tools -> Android -> AVD Manager
Click "Create Virtual Device"
Select which device you want to use from the list (i.e Nexus 5) and click "Next".
Here you're given a list of android release versions. Look at the ABI column. "Armeabi-v7a" ABI is what to look for, for whichever API Level you want.
Hit "Next" and modify name/size if you want, click "Finish" when done.
Courtesy: user2636417's answer to "Android Studio - How Can I Make an AVD With ARM Instead of HAXM?"
According to Android Documentation, to run an emulator the development system's CPU should support one of the following virtualization extensions technologies:
Intel Virtualization Technology (VT, VT-x, vmx)
AMD Virtualization (AMD-V, SVM) -- only supported for Linux
Your CPU is Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU E7400, which according to the manufacturer may or may not support Intel Virtualization Technology (VT-x). For example, SLGW3 has VT-x, while the SLB9Y and SLGQ8 do not. Looks like your particular CPU doesn't have VT-x, hence the error.
The workaround is to use an alternative Android Emulator, e.g. Genymotion.
Android studio's emulator takes like ages to start and also crashes sometimes and at times does not show output, is very very slow.
OS X Yosemite
version 10.10.1
MacBook Pro (15-inc, late 2008)
Processor 2.4 GHz Intel core 2 Duo
Memory 8 GB 1333 MHz DDR3
Startup Disk Untitled
Graphics NVIDIA GeForce 9600M GT 256MB
If i remember correcly your MacBook do not support Hardware Accelerated Execution Manager becouse the cpu is quite old :-( (mine is too) so the default android emulator will be so so slow and there is no way to fix it
Yes you can tweek some parameters and maybe gain a second but it would be very marginal gain.
I use Genymotion is realy fast and run well on ald machines, give it a try. Is commercial product. It han the big disadvantage that there is no images with google play services.
Otherwise there is a way to run android images on "Oracle VM VirtualBox" but this way is not so easy, is hard to find a good android image and setup the envirnoment. install Android in VirtualBox
ps. if you haven't done this already upgrade hd to an ssd , it helps a lot
