Hardware Accelerated Execution Manager Windows 10

Hardware Accelerated Execution Manager (HAXM) is a hardware-assisted virtualization engine that can help speed up the Android Emulator. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to install HAXM on Windows 10:

Prerequisites:

1. Check Virtualization Support:
   • Ensure that your computer's processor supports virtualization.
   • Enable Virtualization Technology (VT) in your computer's BIOS settings. The process for this varies based on your computer's manufacturer.

Steps to Install HAXM:

1. Download HAXM:
   • Visit the Intel HAXM download page.
   • Download the latest release that matches your operating system architecture (32-bit or 64-bit).
2. Install HAXM:
   • Run the downloaded installer (the .exe file).
   • Follow the on-screen instructions to install HAXM.
   • During installation, you may be prompted to enable Intel Virtualization Technology (VT). Ensure that VT is enabled in your computer's BIOS.
3. Configure Hyper-V (if applicable):
   • If you have Hyper-V installed, it may conflict with HAXM. You may need to disable Hyper-V.
     • Open "Control Panel" and go to "Programs" > "Programs and Features."
     • Click on "Turn Windows features on or off."
     • Uncheck "Hyper-V" and click "OK."
     • Reboot your computer.
4. Verify HAXM Installation:
   • Open Android Studio.
   • Open the "AVD Manager" (Tools > AVD Manager).
   • Click "Create Virtual Device."
   • Choose a hardware profile and click "Next."
   • In the "System Image" section, look for an image that mentions "x86" or "x86_64" (HAXM is for x86-based systems).
   • If you see an image with "(Google Play)" that supports HAXM, then HAXM is installed correctly.
5. Adjust HAXM Settings (Optional):
   • If needed, you can adjust the amount of RAM allocated to HAXM by running the installer again or through the "Programs and Features" settings.
6. Troubleshooting:
   • If you encounter any issues during installation, check the HAXM documentation or the error messages for guidance.

Notes:

• HAXM installation may require administrator privileges.
• Make sure to close other virtualization platforms (e.g., VMware, VirtualBox) during the installation process.

Remember to refer to the official HAXM documentation for the most up-to-date information and troubleshooting tips. The steps outlined here are based on the general process, and specific details may vary depending on your system configuration.
