Post installing Windows 10 , and then Visual studio 2015 pro, I found , to my disappointment , that my laptop model G480lenovo doesn't support Hardware virtualization. In fact there is no entry for "CPU" in my BIOS configuration section.
So then , there is no phone emulators which I could use available in my VS
What are the alternatives here for the emulators that I could use, for testing universal windows applications?
Any pointers here?
If you cannot run Hyper-V on your machine, you need to test it directly with device.
But...I think it's better to double confirm if the CPU doesn't support SLAT. There is tools called Coreinfo. And you can download it from windows sysinternals.
After you download it and extract to a folder(for example: c:\coreinfo). Open command prompt as administrator and navigate to the folder(cd c:\coreinfo), then run coreinfo.exe -v (as below image shows). You can see it is supported on my end.
I did a quick research and found the G480 Lenovo uses i5-3210M or i3-2370M. And found the following specifications on intel official website which indicates both CPU support the EPT(Extended Page Tables) which is SLAT.

If you cannot find the options in BIOS, I think you need to contact your vendor to help you and maybe you need to update your BIOS firmware.

Brand new to app development and am having a bit of trouble activating an Android Virtual Device (AVD) for Android Studio (Windows 10). I am trying to install HAXM but receive the attached message.
Upon going into my /installed programs/ directory to uninstall Microsoft Hyper-V, the program is not listed. Would the Hyper-V program be listed under another name, or rather, could anyone please provide feedback as to resolving this message? Any feedback would be greatly appreciated!
For AMD system, you can use Windows Hypervisor Platform (WHPX) under Windows 10 since Version 1803:
To enable Windows Hypervisor Platform (WHPX) do the following steps:
From the Windows desktop, right-click the Windows icon and select Apps and features.
Under Related settings, click Programs and Features.
Click Turns Windows Features on or off.
Select Windows Hypervisor Platform
click ok and reboot.
Now create a new Android Virtual Device (AVD).
Yes the same was here too,
Ok there are 2 ways of solving this ,
First you can go to BIOS and disable the Hyper V and enable the VT x for intel. If you had not the VTx or with disabling Hyper v nothing has solved then come to Second solution.
The second is there is not a solution available for you and your computer just like me. Your cpu and computer cant install HAXM which mean you cant install and run emulator , but hang on, google has added new property to emulators to run without HAXM and you need to install those package of SDK api which has Amd virtualization or non HAXM, also even this one has not helped me, so if you were like me then you can use physical device for testing or installing linux instead of windows and use Hyper v to run emulator in android studio instead of HAXM, and i prefer Lubuntu cause of speed it will gives you if you wantes to install.
I'm using Android Studio on windows 10 currently. However, as I try to install HAXM via android studio, there is an error which always pops up "This computer does not support Intel Virtualization Technology (VT-x) or it is being exclusively used by Hyper-V. HAXM cannot be installed".
The weird thing is that when I checked my installed programs, HAXM is already installed by default. I have no idea why I am not able to upgrade. I'm using a decent gaming laptop with an 8th Gen Intel Core i7 processor.
Things I have tried :
I have already went into my bios and made sure all virtualization options were enabled and went to "Windows Features"and unchecked Windows Hyper-visor Platform but to no avail as the problem still persists
I recently had the same issue, and even though Intel virtualization was enabled in the BIOS and my Windows 10 doesn't have the Hyper-V option because it's the home edition, I wasn't able to use Android Studio emulators/virtual machines or upgrade/reinstall Intel HAXM. I then found out that an enabled feature on Windows Defender was the cause of the problem. Try the following steps (sorry, my device is in portuguese so the options might have another naming other than the direct translation to english):
In Windows Defender, go to Device Security (The one with a laptop icon).
Choose Kernel Isolation Details (first option).
And disable the Memory Integrity option if it isn't disabled already (in case it is, I'm sorry but this solution won't help you out).
If you have to change the option to disabled, restart your computer and try upgrading HAXM via Android Studio again.
I hope this helps. :)
In my case, after disabling Hyper-V in Windows Features I had to turn the antivirus (Kaspersky) off to install Intel x86 Emulator Accelerator (HAXM) 7.5.6 on Windows 10 Pro (1909).
IF u have AMD CPU you have to install Driver for AMD processor Check img
I'm trying something very different. We have legacy Windows Mobile programs that we need to run on Windows 8.1 tablets with capacitive screens. To do this we've installed the stand alone Windows Mobile 6.1 Emulator which runs without a problem. Doing this, we can load and run our old Windows Mobile programs on the 8.1 Tablet and they run well but we are having problems with the touch or mouse click. The emulator is meant to be used with a mouse button to select and click not a touch screen. When we run our old programs we have to double-tap in order to select anything. This is not a problem until we try to enter text from the emulator keyboard. We have to tap each key twice in order to enter a character. This becomes very tiresome and makes the legacy program useless. Our legacy Win Mobile program was designed to allow our field people to collect large amounts of text and numeric data. Having to tap each key twice will not work.
We've examined the limited mouse and touch option in Windows 8.1 and nothing seems to help. So here are my questions:
Is there third party software that may improve on Windows 8.1 mouse customization? Synaptic maybe?
Is there a command line switch for the emulator we could add that would fix this problem?
Does anyone know of a method to fix this?
Thanks
I have asked this question to MS support.

I think the problem is in Windows 8 touchscreen API driver, I have tested this emulator with Win7 tablet, no problems with double click.
I was developing Windows Mobile applications on a Windows machine using C#, just to test the platform, but now I'm back to Linux and now developing for Windows CE on it(CeGCC and FPC), but it's very boring to compile and send the executable to the device everytime just to do a simple test, then I want to know where can I find a good emulator for Linux to debug my projects.
Qemu is really nice and its open source. You can also attach a debugger to Qemu to debug operating systems, comes in handy if you are writing device drivers. Using QEMU you can emulate other processor types such as ARM. personally I use VMWare workstation unless i need to emulate another processor type.
Unfortunately, your only bet is trying to run Microsoft's own emulator under Wine. This is the only ARM emulator you will find Windows Mobile images for. Search the web, some people had success with this approach - though the installation is tricky. Oh, and you won't get network working in the emulator, as this requires a special Windows device driver (which obviously won't work under Wine).
For this last reason, you may want to make a full desktop Windows (or possibly ReactOS) installation inside qemu, and install the PDA emulator inside the PC emulator.
And think how cool it would be to play Super Mario Bros inside a NES emulator inside a PDA emulator inside a PC emulator! :)))))
As i just need the hard RT capabilities, can I install and run Windows Embedded CE 6.0 on a regular PC ? (dell or so ?), and UDP out some data ?
You can install Windows CE in a PC, but you would need to create your own image. See this tutorial in MSDN. Also google for CEPC.
Finally visit Mike Hall's blog. I remember reading a related article there, but I can't find it now. Anyhow, this blog is a great resource for Windows Embedded.
(From working with Windows CE 5.0, so there may be some differences, YMMV.)
You should be able to run Windows CE both in an emulator and installed on the device itself as the host operating system.
In the first case all you need is an emulator, which is provided with the development kit and in a more expensive version of Visual Studio. This will run the OS fine, albeit a bit slow depending on the architecture you choose to build the Guest OS for.
In the second case you will actually need to find or write drivers for the hardware that you want to run on and use. This will require the Platform Builder application (I believe it's a plugin to Visual Studio now) and knowledge of the hardware that you are running on. Windows CE itself does support x86 processors, although I don't remember if it supports all x86 processors (instruction sets) or just 486's.
If you want to go down the second route you also may be able to get an Intel Atom or AMD Geode board support package (BSP) which will help you develop the drivers.
