If you faced trouble during the installation of Android Studio with this error, we can absolutely fix it in a few steps and few minutes, so running the emulator will have no more issues
The pop-up + log you see is about emulator acceleration. The emulator can still run without it, just slower. We’ll make it fast.
Check if if virtualization is enabled in BIOS:
- Task Manager → Performance → CPU → “Virtualization: Enabled/Disabled”.
How to enable SVM (AMD-V) in BIOS/UEFI
- Restart your PC → enter BIOS/UEFI (often Del, F2, or F10).
- Find CPU/advanced settings and enable “SVM Mode” (AMD virtualization). Save & exit.
Once your machine rebooted, turn on Windows’ virtualization layer (WHPX path):
- Win+R →
optionalfeatures.exe→ Enter. - check the below boxes
- Windows Hypervisor Platform
- Virtual Machine Platform
- Click OK, Restart when prompted.
After a reboot, let’s verify:
Open a new tab in PowerShell
& "$env:LOCALAPPDATA\Android\Sdk\emulator\emulator.exe" -accel-check
& "$env:LOCALAPPDATA\Android\Sdk\platform-tools\adb.exe" version
& "$env:LOCALAPPDATA\Android\Sdk\platform-tools\adb.exe" devices- The first line tells you if hardware acceleration is usable (WHPX or AEHD).
- The last line should list your emulator once it’s running.
Now, you can start your emulator:
- Welcome → More Actions → Device Manager (or inside Studio: Device Manager).
- Click ▶ on your AVD.
