adt - Update to Android SDK Tools 23.0.5 and avd doesn't start

Question

I am running on Windows 8.1 x64, developing Android apps using ADT Bundle. Previously (before updating the Android SDK Tools) the AVD was working very correctly and after the update, it says the following error while starting the AVD

emulator: ERROR: x86 emulation currently requires hardware acceleration!
Please ensure Intel HAXM is properly installed and usable.
CPU acceleration status: HAX kernel module is not installed!

I tried to delete the avd, avd-folder from the windows user-specific folder and re-created the similar avd but no progress.

How can I run the avd again? (after the SDK update)

Answer 1

Create emulator in CPU/ABI in ARM, this error only exist for Intel processor.

If you want to create AVD CPU/ABI in Intel gor for this process, Make sure you have instaled HAXM installer on your SDK Manager.

After you download it make sure you run the setup located in: {SDK_FOLDER}extrasintelHardware_Accelerated_Execution_Managerintelhaxm.exe

If you get the error "VT not supported" during the installation disable Hyper-V on windows features. You can execute this command dism.exe /Online /Disable-Feature:Microsoft-Hyper-V. You will also need "Virtualization Technology" to be enabled on your BIOS
