Genymotion unstable - android-studio

I've been using Genymotion, but its been pretty laggy. I only had HAXM accelerator installed so I decided to mess with VM manager, but it only seems to have made it worse. Now it runs smoothly but upon opening any application, it will either wait a bit then tell me the application isn't responding, or just freeze all together and give me a "player.exe has stopped working" dialog box. My changed system settings are as follows:
1 processor,
1024MB for the motherboard,
128MB for video with 3D acceleration enabled.
All other configurations are set to default.
I have an intel i5-2450M 2.5GHz chip with virtualization enabled in the BIOS.
Before when I had only HAXM installed, it worked fine. Just lagged a lot.
Help would be much appreciated.

You are using Windows 10?
Try to reinstall genymotion deleting all geny folders from your computer, remove virtualbox too.

I can't install HAXM even after trying everything

I initially tried to install haxm though android studio. Not working.
I downloaded the installer for haxm though intel. Not working because: VT-x is not supported by this computer or it is being exclusively used by Hyper-V.
But vt is supported and it's not used by hyper-v.
I checked windows feautures and all hyper-v options/suboptions are off. I checked windows defender -> core isolation -> memory integrity and it's off. I have no other antivirus software that could possible block hyper-v, I have only windows defender.
I tried turning off, in case it's on, with command line and then rebooted and tried installing again.
I checked the bios/uefi and vt is enabled, mts (multithreading) is enabled.
I checked windows services and there was no service, relative to hyper-v, running.
I don't believe that there might be another software running in the same time which causes this problem (like amd driver (andrenaline), asrock rgb, or I don't know what). 
Any idea? 
CPU : ryzen 5 2600. MOBO: Asrock Fatal1ty B450 Gaming K4. OS: Windows 10 Education (latest version)
(I am not sure if this post fits here but I have seen a couple of posts regarding installation problems of HAXM. I read them. Still, they're not helpful for my problem as it seems)
Do check the following things
go to BIOS of your system, if your system (laptop/desktop) have intel processor then enable the VT-X (virtualization technology).
if your laptop/desktop have AMD processor then enable HYPER-V form your BIOS.
This will fix your problem for sure. If not then try to update your BIOS.
Fixed it having the following settings:
Under advanced/cpu settings:
SVM enabled. MTS enabled.
Under advanced/northbridge:
SR-IOV enabled.
On windows:
Hyper-V off. Windows Hypervisor on.
On windows defender:
Core Isolation -> Memory Integrity: off
On android studio:
Settings/System Settings/Android SDK:
Android Emulator On
Android Emulator Hypervisor Driver for AMD Processors On
(Check running services for related tasks. Check 3rd party software)
Reboot.
Don't try to install Intel x86 Emulator Accelator(HAXM) with AMD. There is no way to do it with AMD.

This computer does not support Intel Virtualization Technology (VT-x) or it is being exclusively used by Hyper-V error

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

Cannot install HAXM for Android on Windows 10 64bit

I have an Asus ROG Laptop.
at the boot setup, I see the option for virtualization
In the system, Hyper-v is disabled, by unchecking the features and running dism.exe /Online /Disable-Feature:Microsoft-Hyper-V at PowerShell.
but yet I get the installation Error
And also I should mention that Intel Processor Identification Utility App is showing
I still can't comment, but do you have avast or other antivirus software, sometimes it interferes with hyper v.
Otherwise, you could disable and reenable vtx again.
you have to enable VT-x (virtualization technology) and enable feature XD (Disable Execution Bit) in the UEFI/BIOS... then it should be possible to install HAXM and use it. one can get there, by pressing DEL or F2 before the boot beep (the key may vary, depending on the mainboard vendor).
I've just seen the screenshot; enabling CPU feature XD should solve the issue.
Intel HAXM requires the Android SDK to be installed (version 17 or higher). For more information, refer to the Android developer website (https://developer.android.com/studio/index.html).

VirtualBox screen resolution

I'm running Windows 10 inside VirtualBox 5.1.18 on OS X 10.11.6 and after installing Guest Additions to enable bidirectional c/p the screen resolution has shrank to 800x600 and I managed to increase it to 1024x768. Even though it brings some memories of the times when I was young and restless it won't allow me to do any serious work in Visual Studio.
First time I installed them trough virtual CD-ROM and second time manually by downloading the right version from the official page.
How to fix it?
Thank you in advance.

AVD Emulator stuck on loading screen in Android Studio

I decided to try Android Studio 2.0 having used Eclipse in the past but I'm having considerable difficulty getting the AVD to load correctly. I've done quite a bit of googling and research into the problem, both here on SO and Google.So far nothing has worked.
The emulator simply hangs on the android load-up screen ever time I try to run it. I've seen it advised to use Genymotion but I would first prefer to resolve the issue natively in Android Studio to feel confident going forward using the IDE for building projects.
Here's what I've tried:
Complete reinstall of Android, SDK and SDK Tools
Install and configure of Intel x86 accelerator
Lowered the RAM amount to 512 in AVD settings
Multiple attempts at deleting and recreating AVD's
Tried creating different AVD phone models(Nexus One,Nexus 5x etc.)
Resetting ADB in AVD Monitor Tool
Starting ADB server from terminal
Restarting Android Studio multiple times after changes
Running SDK/SDK Tools updates several times
Made sure the SDK path is correct
These are the majority of the "solutions" I found either on other similar SO questions or by googling none of which has resolved the problem.
When I run the emulator currently it displays the following in the run window:
/Users/<username>/Library/Android/sdk/tools/emulator -netdelay none -netspeed full -avd Nexus_5X_API_23
Warning: requested ram_size 1024M too big, reduced to 512M
emulator: WARNING: Increasing RAM size to 1024MB
emulator: WARNING: VM heap size set below hardware specified minimum of 228MB
emulator: WARNING: Setting VM heap size to 256MB
Hax is enabled
Hax ram_size 0x20000000
HAX is working and emulator runs in fast virt mode.
console on port 5554, ADB on port 5555
The emulator shows up fine in the Android AVD Monitor devices pane and even appears to go through the entire booting process on the emulator screen itself but never gets to the Android home screen.
Also, Logcat seems to be looping continuously through dozens of errors and warnings, which don't offer any clear indication of what the issue might be or direction of how to resolve it.
I feel like I've exhausted every idea and not sure how to move forward.Just for the record, I am running El Capitan 10.9.2 with a 2.4gh Intel Core 2 Duo and 4gb ram.It's not the fastest machine for sure but should be capable of running Android Studio and the emulator.
Any help or guidance resolving this problem is gratefully appreciated!
For me this worked: in AVD(Tools->AVD) click on the small arrow for desired emulator then click on "Wipe data".
After that, it successfully started - passed the android logo screen - although a bit slowly.
You have two thing:
You should Increase your ADB emulator Heap to the minimum required.
in your case: 512M
into your AVD Manager:
Click Edit on your Emulator
"Show Advanced Settings" at the bottom
Go to: "Memory and Storage"
Edit the VM heap value to 512 MB
Finished
Image:
You can Wipe data to your Emulator. here is an exemple website
At one point my laptop hit a kernel panic and restarted while running an active AVD emulator session. When attempting to restart the emulator, the emulated device (Pixel 3) stayed stuck on the startup splash logo screen.
Fix steps:
Stop hung emulator session.
rm ~/.android/avd/name_of_emulated_device.avd/*.lock
rm ~/.android/avd/name_of_emulated_device.avd/*.qcow2
Restarting the emulated AVD should now be successful.
Windows equivalent for ~/.android should be C:\Users\.android, but I can't confirm this myself.
Note: You will likely lose any additionally installed apps and current work that was on the AVD.
Unfortunately, increasing the heap size didn't help in my case. The virtual device was actually running fine before with the previous amount of heap.
What I eventually ended up doing was just creating a new virtual device through the AVD manager leaving most of the fields the default value. The new device ran fine and booted up as expected and was able to run my app. It's possible something in my first virtual device became corrupted.
I had the same problem. I'm running El Capitan 10.11.5 with a 2.0GHz Intel Core 2 Duo and 8GB RAM, Android Studio 1.5.1.
After upgrading to Intel x86 Emulator Accelerator (HAXM Installer), rev 6.1.1 and deleting my API 14 SDK and related files, the newly installed API 23's Google APIs Intel x86 Atom System Image would not get past the Android logo screen.
After much trial & error, the Intel x86 Atom System Image (not Google APIs Intel x86 Atom System Image) for API 15 finally loaded the home screen on the emulator after ~ 8 min and one android system crash.
Will try the Intel x86 Atom System Image for API 23 later. Hope that helps.
I had the same problem and none of the steps listed here helped me, either.
But since the solution that worked for me was not mentioned here yet, I thought it might help you or one of the others finding this thread:
What did work for me was disabling certain settings in my Avast Antivirus as proposed by the Android studio troubleshooting page here.
My version of Avast did not have the setting "Use nested virtualization when available", however just turning off "Enable Hardware assisted virtualization" (note: restart is required for it to take effect) solved the problem just fine.
So if you are using Avast or another Antivirus which manipulates virtualization, be sure to look through the correspondent settings.
I had experienced same problem, What I did was, I clicked on the drop down in the actions column, then clicked on wipe Data, and that resolved it for me on ubuntu 20.04
I had this problem and running as admin fixed this (drove me crazy).
Hope this works for you too tried some many fixes.
What worked for me?
Create new project with same configs.
And start your old emulators in it.
What did not work?
Wiping data.
Increasing Heap size.
Creating new virtual device.
I also had the same problem with my AVD. After lots of trial and error I arrived at a solution for my problem. the problem was with the Heap size and the RAM size.
Initially the default heap size was 128 MB and RAM was 1563 , I just changed the heap size to 512 MB and reduced the RAM size( high RAM was making my pc run slow) also I enabled hardware acceleration. And Yipeee, it worked.
It's very easy to fix all you need to do is go in AVD Manager click on the small arrow on most right side of the screen beside the edit icon. Click that small arrow and select wipe data.
Now when you'll start your AVD it will restart and work properly.
