After installing Android Studio and setting the SDK Path (for instance, setting the JDK location to the JAVA_HOME variable in Environment Variables and so on), sometimes we may encounter the following error when launching our Android Virtual Device (AVD).
“Hax Kernel Module is not installed.”
![Hax Kernel Module]()
Go to SDK Manager, then Extras and download the HAXM Installer.
![tool]()
Surprisingly, we will still get the same error “Hax Kernel Module is not installed.”.
So here is the solution to successfully launch an AVD in Android Studio.
Step 1
After downloading the Intel Emulator Accelerator (HAXM Installer) just go to the following path:
C:\Users\abhi\Android Studio Sdk\extras\intel\Hardware_Accelerated_Execution_Manager
Install the intelhaxm-android.
![intelhaxm]()
Step 2
Click Next.
If Virtualization Technology is not enabled in our system, then we will get an error as in the following:
![Error]()
Step 3
Before going to the BIOS setup, go to Control Panel, then Programs, Program and Features. Then you can see the following dialog box: "Turn Windows features on or off”.
![default program]()
![Turn Windows features on or off]()
Just Check the Hyper-V Virtualization
Microsoft Hyper-V is a hypervisor-based virtualization solution for x86-64 systems and an important player in the booming server virtualization space.
Step 4
Here's an important step. Just restart the system and go to BIOS Setup.
- Go to System Configuration.
- Go to Virtualization Technology.
Just enable it and Exit with Save Changes.
Step 5
Again go to the following path:
C:\Users\abhi\Android Studio Sdk\extras\intel\Hardware_Accelerated_Execution_Manager
Install the intelhaxm-android again as in the following:
![process]()
This time it will not give an error.
![click finish]()
Step 6
Now we can launch our Android Virtual Device (AVD) Emulator.
We can see “There is no error” in Device Logcat.
